<html> <p>Now that I am in my 40s I would offer very different advice to my 19 year-old-self. This is what I would tell my 19 year old self now.</p> <p><a href="https://www.quora.com/Life-Advice-I-feel-like-Im-not-going-to-be-able-to-survive-in-the-world-It-seems-too-harsh-and-uncomfortable-How-can-I-develop-more-of-a-go-getter-attitude/answer/Martin-Tiller-1"><strong>I wrote this as an answer to a question on Quora originally. </strong></a></p> <p>You won't like my idea, and most other won't like my idea either.<br> </p> <p>But here goes.<br> </p> <p>If you want to truly challenge yourself, do one thing.<br> </p> <p><strong>Drop out of college. </strong><br> </p> <p><em>Especially if you are taking on debt and you don't really know what you want to do.</em><br> </p> <p><strong>Then try one of these ideas in the next year:</strong><br> </p> <ol> <li>Make 100 Youtube videos on something you like.</li> <li>Write and publish 30 short Kindle books.</li> <li>Start selling things on eBay, and get to $4,000 in revenue a month.</li> <li>Start a blog that has 100,000 hits a month.</li> <li>Travel to another country and record the travels in a video blog.</li> <li>Take four courses FOR FREE on Coursera. And then write about them.</li> <li>Teach your own class on Udemy.</li> <li>Start a newsletter that recommends books or movies you see during the month. See if you can get 1000 subscribers in three months.</li> <li>Instead of asking questions on Quora, answer five questions a day.</li> <li>Sell art on Etsy and get to $3,000 a month in revenue.</li> </ol> <p><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/7cb77aa62e.jpg" width="1920" height="960"/></p> <p>Then after doing one or more of these things, then you will feel more confident. And if you do one of these things in the next year, it won't be a fake confidence, you will be YEARS ahead of other 19 year olds.<br> </p> <p>Also, these ideas cost less than going to college.<br> </p> <p>But again, most people won't like these ideas.<br> </p> <p><br></p> </html>
