The first one was told to me when I was 24, by a woman at The Washington Post, when I
was a copy aid. She said, "Between the time you turn 20 and the time you turn 30, you're
going to be 10 different people. You're going to listen to different music, you're going
to date somebody, you're going to break up with somebody, you're going to watch different
kinds of movies, you're going to drive a different kind of car, you might have a bunch of different
kinds of jobs, you're going to go through a ton of changes. And right now, at the age
of 22 or 23 or 24, or 20, you think of yourself as more of a finished product than you really
are." And her advice was, "Give yourself the luxury of understanding you're unfinished."
And that takes some of the pressure off everything else you might be trying to put together.
