What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?
Purpose versus Pleasure driven
As a senior, Always put purpose over pleasure, is the advice I would like to give any youngster.
At a young age we are driven by pleasure due to lack of maturity. As we grow up we understand the virtues of being driven by sense of purpose for a fulfilled life.
As mentioned by Angela Duckworth in her book Grit, with age and with grit and determination we come to realize the value of finding a meaning in life as opposed to short term “dopamine” driven results.
Hence once we realize this truth our mindset as well as our vision towards life would orient towards a long term focus.
