This situation happened to me today.

I'm over forty years old...I was working out in a public park in my city and there was a young 19 years old guy from Turkey.

We started a conversation and out of the blue he asked me something as: what piece of advice would you give me to succeed in life?

I answered something related to have fun on what you do, start saving and investing as soon as possible because time is a great advantage....

But, I'd like to have given a better answer.

What advice would you give to him?

I actually think that you gave good advice. Why do you think that isn’t enough?

This is something I have been thinking a lot about lately, so if put in the spot, I will probably say something like regardless of whether it is your passion or not, focus on mastering one thing thoroughly. Doors will open for you once you have a high skill set.

Kudos to the 19 year old for asking this question.

I think he'll succeed, just because he did this. Not just the asking of this question, but because he's the type of person that thinks to ask questions like this.

i would tell him to focus on personal development. This could mean pursuing education, learning new skills, or building good habits. Your 20s are a foundational time for shaping your future.

Yea, I would say that and on top not to take life too seriously. Its not worth the stress or anxiety, make sure you have a balanced wholesome life.
