Transcripts
at age 18 I went to college because well
that's what you do at 18 right this was
simply the next step in my predetermined
life path so I didn't think much about
what happens at the end of the tunnel
fast forward to my first job after
graduating college 2 weeks in after a
long day of management consulting I went
home and cried this can't be it I worked
so hard and for what is this what the
rest of my life will be like you only
get one shot at ages 18 through 24 which
are some of the best years of your life
but it's also where you can feel the
most lost now I'm right at the tail end
of this age range and built what I
currently consider my dream life today
I'd love to share with you what I would
have loved to know these are the five
most important lessons you should start
doing now if I didn't do these five
things I would probably still be crying
about my job instead of living the life
my younger self wanted I'm Amy I
graduated from Caltech with a degree in
chemical Engineering in 2021 so yes I
was a CO graduate sad very very sad
actually not just a fake sad I worked as
a Management Consultant as my first job
I'm currently doing more entrepreneurial
and content things let's go into the
things that I want you to know so much
that I put please in the title let's go
each week studying or working you wake
up on Mondays hating life you stay up to
finish that one task and it feels like a
drag until one day you look at at where
you're going in life and you don't know
because you realize that you've been
living on autopilot you should begin
with the end in mind I picked chemical
engineering because I liked chemistry
and math but I didn't begin my college
experience with the end in mind whenever
you're starting something new or before
you're making a decision think about
what your ultimate goal is with what
you're putting in right now I already
messed up choosing my college major by
not following this advice so when I
began recruiting for my first full-time
job I reflected about the end I want and
that was to make an impact through
leadership if I hadn't reflected about
my ultimate goal and instead done
engineering right out of undergrad then
it would have taken me five extra years
before I could switch into Consulting
and then only after trying Consulting I
would realize I don't want to do it and
by then it would be a lot harder and
riskier to do entrepreneurship like I am
now so I actually saved myself over 5
years getting myself to do what I enjoy
now you can also save yourself years and
years getting ahead more successful and
happier by simply beginning with the end
in mind when you input something right
now it's more optimal if you already
have a sense of where you want that to
take you the headline here to keep in
mind is think about what you won't
regret and that includes spending time
with the ones who matter I saw this
crazy graph the other day that shows the
time spent with your parents and
siblings it peaks in childhood and
declines dramatically after age 20
you're probably working on a degree
right now or have already finished a
degree or even if you're not in college
that's totally fine but I think what's
really important is to realize that
being educated is more than a piece of
paper I've seen people who go to Harvard
who go to Caltech and they don't have
many life skills or they don't know how
to handle things outside of the bubble
of college and not being smart in life
definitely includes myself because your
girl didn't know the first thing when it
came to how credit cards really work
finances
taxes knowing how to turn on a
stove just kidding I'm not that bad but
my fiance who went to a quote unquote
lesser ranked school is so good at
speaking with people he knows everything
about finances and helps me I'm looking
for a man in finance trust so number two
is build your human capital the diploma
doesn't mean as much as the person you
are this is the internal value you have
within yourself like skills experience
knowledge wisdom that no one can take
away from you where even if one day your
degree has no meaning at all because it
is arbitrary Society just gives a
definition to it even if that all goes
away you will be fine and you will know
that you're going to succeed in life no
matter what some of the most important
education can actually be forms such as
wisdom from reading books there's a
reason why all the millionaires out
there say to please read books I
definitely agree once I read my first
self-development book my eyes just
opened I was like where has this been my
whole life so I definitely recommend you
try one first you can self-study with AI
on the rise it's really important to at
least understand its capabilities how
you can leverage it and at the very
least learn how you can accurately
prompt AI work on writing and
communication I hated writing essays but
now I'm writing every single day way
more than I ever thought I would because
communication is so crucial for me to be
making this video to be putting my
knowledge and experiences into a format
that's digestible and helpful to anyone
on your own you can also work on
organization and time management skills
when I was younger I would look at
adults in their 30s and 40s and assume
they had their lives together and they
were just Miles Ahead in terms of
managing their schedules their calendars
multiple commitments but that's not
really true you realize that at every
age people are still just kids and the
more mature people are those who
actively try to improve continually in
these time management and organization
skills speaking of self-studying new
skills you can easily do this on
skillshare and they're conly sponsoring
this video practicing what I preach I'm
actually taking a class on how to
communicate more clearly and confidently
if you've been wanting to learn anything
from film to design to improving your
productivity you can choose from their
thousands of classes is which are led by
experts you might wonder why skillshare
when I could just watch some YouTube
videos two major reasons one you will be
with other dedicated Learners who help
you stay motivated and two you learn by
doing you get to create and share a
project at the end of each class plus
get feedback from the community you know
how we're so busy and always say I want
to learn how to paint or I love to learn
how to edit videos well summer is your
chance to be proactive and skillshare
can help make it happen for a while I've
been wanting to learn how to level up my
community ation skills in a more
structured way so this course is amazing
because he Alex lion is a communication
professor and he teaches me how to use
pauses more confidently and use less
fewer words fewer filler words ironic

just use the link in my description
because the first 500 people will get a
free one Monon trial so don't miss out
finally some of the most important
education you can have comes from
expanding your worldview with
experiences you can travel and get
immersed in different cultures which is
some of the most fun and beautiful
things I think that you can do and you
can do the next two tips you only get
one chance at walking down this life
path you're on time moves linearly such
that after you get through college after
you get through your first job you can
look back and be like I wish I did that
differently you will make mistakes and
while mistakes are definitely great and
you should learn from them it's ideal to
not have to learn things the hard way so
the best way to do that is to learn from
others lives listen to and study other
people's Journeys purposefully find and
understand the years and years of
struggle their mistakes and their
failures that lie behind their current
successes let them Inspire your own
Journey For example Ali abdal he talks a
lot about his struggles and his failures
and about the sunk cost fallacy because
he's not a doctor anymore even though he
spent years and years studying to be one
so by learning the ups and downs of his
journey will not only encourage you
because you'll see it's not easy for
anyone but you'll also have a better
idea of how to build the life that you
want in fact good job doing this right
now learning from me as like your older
sister or kind of a mentor friend while
it's amazing to learn from others it's
super critical and valuable to grow from
your own experiences and you do that by
pushing yourself outside your comfort
zone if you don't know what to do with
your life well there's only one way to
find out every time you're scared to do
something whether it's to talk to
someone intimidating pick up a skill or
apply for a position that seems too
difficult Relish in that fear reframe
your mindset that fear means a huge
opportunity for growth right there in
front of you it's also a chance for you
to discover which doors you can close
and what things you can cross off the
list it was very daunting for me to
completely switch industries from
engineering to Consulting but I'm so
grateful I did that because I discovered
way more about myself than if I stayed
in engineering and at a quicker Pace to
too I'm no longer in Consulting but I'm
grateful I now know to cross that thing
off my list of things I don't want to do
in life see you don't know what to do
with your life yet but that's the beauty
of it I felt lost in my 20s and I felt
this pressure to have it all figured out
and I thought that because I didn't know
everything about myself I was somehow
doing something wrong but it turns out
that's what your life's for the fifth
thing is to remember that it's your life
I absolutely love this quote the life I
had been given is not a rehearsal for
some future life and I constantly remind
myself to drop the act and strive for
authenticity rather than Applause
believe in your own judgment if people
are pushing you in one way understand
that maybe they just want you to live
out their dreams but you are the one who
needs to live out your own growing up
and having values of really respecting
and valuing the opinions of my Asian
parents I struggled with becoming my own
person and forming my own view of things
I had to learn to put my own beliefs
above my parents and only think of them
as advisers not managers the world is
moving fast and that's why companies
love to hire young people because we are
the ones who have Innovative thoughts
and ideas so why not listen to that
Advantage all in all you're going to
feel so much pressure to have your life
figured out and people are going to ask
you what are you going to do with your
life heck you're going to ask yourself
the same thing every day but there's
nothing to do with it your life is not
something to be expended like what are
you going to do with that $100 bill I'm
telling myself this every day as an
achiever personality type don't put
pressure on yourself to win in some
arbitrary race don't feel the need to
force some productivity or achievement
rating on what you've done with your
life so far really if I could give you
one thing to take away from this is that
in this age of distraction and social
media treat your time like it's gold
it's your gold so you choose how to
spend it you choose what to give your
attention to you choose what kinds of
opinions to form don't put other
people's above yours don't put their
time and their livelihood above yours as
long as you continually reflect on how
you're spending your time in valuing it
you will find your way at the end of the
day remember that the old folks have a
few things right which is to prioritize
your happiness your health and
fulfillment what to do with your life
live thanks so much for spending this
time with me hope it was valuable and I
actually have a podcast tast where I go
deeper into discussions and my struggles
going through my 20s right now and how I
think about ways to motivate myself and
stay disciplined so that will be linked
in the description don't forget to build
your human capital and to try skillshare
for free with a link in my description
if you enjoy this please give me a like
so this can help reach more people and
help them thank you till next
time feeling a little stressed
overwhelmed because I still have so much
to do for the application and I've
barely started and I have so many other
things on my plate where it's like I
already had this amount of stuff to do
and now I add on applying and it I
shouldn't even be so stressed about this
because I'm only applying to one school
I also have to film right now and I'm
trying to get this anxious heavy feeling
in my chest out it's just this kind of
dull feeling that I have so many things
to do so I'm just trying to take one
step at a time where maybe I have this
giant pile of tasks but the only way to
get it done is to start on the first one
and then keep knocking them down one by
one today I had two calls one was a
coffee chat with a former student of the
program I'm applying to so that was very
helpful I have another coffee chat on
Friday I have gotten deeper into
brainstorming I realize with so many
other things on my plate that I'm not
giving myself enough time to work on
applications so starting today I'm
putting a Time Block in my calendar
every day where that time is dedicated
to work on the application so that's
where the application is going right
now as you can tell I'm in a kind of a
frantic mood right now I need some more
Zen anyway oh today is June 19th 2024
obviously it's 2024 cuz that would be
weird if it's not anyway okay thanks for
watching this update for the application
process it's hard to realize right now
now but your time with your family is so
limited I learn to prioritize and
cherish every moment such that even when
I got invited to participate in a
college documentary I turned them down
so I could go home to spend time with my
mom and dad
