1. Find a mentor at work. Let it happen organically, not as part of a mentor program. Find a dude 10 years from retirement and learn everything you can from him.

2. Read a newspaper everyday. You'll be smarter and be able to talk to people about things.

3. Buy a charcoal grey suit. This can get you through 10 years of weddings, funerals and job interviews. Go navy blue for your second suit.

4. Don't do too much of anything, but don't be scared to do a little bit of anything.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Most of the things you need to know about life are already here in the threads, but I'll contribute from my own experiences/mistakes.

1. Don't ever take advice from people who ain't got their own shyt together.
2. Don't ever put a chick on a pedestal that ain't the wife or your mother. EVER. I don't give a damn how fine she is.
3. Get that paper stacked now. Establish good credit. Trust me, I was on some ole, "I'll never use credit" stuff, but it is essential to have in CERTAIN situations.
4. Get the crazy out of your system now. Ain't nothing wrong with clubbing, slaying through a few chicks while you're young (be safe about it), but there's going to be a time when it ain't cute anymore.
5. Value the relationship you have with families. You never know when their time is up. Lost my mom at a young age, and regretted how we talked to one another before she passed.

and last and not least....

6. ALWAYS protect yourself, and don't ever trust a bytch when she tells you she's on birth control. I was a naive and horny lil sumthin back in the day. Believing that chicks had no reason to lie. Trust me, the feeling of is NOT worth 4 digits a month in child support. And that's real.

I swear to god breh, outside of #5 (family belongs in the bushes ) I felt like I was reliving my entire 20s reading that list. So many fukk nikkas who didn't have 2 nikkas to rub together trying to give me money/career advice. And I almost got caught slipping on #6 . After that situation my black ass RAN to get a vasectomy

Start at a young age, no later than 20 to figure out what u want to do with school, go get u an associate or bachelors while you young, something good like nursing, law, trade like Hvac, mechanic etc. This way employers will be chasing you, and u can always start ur own.

Invest in yourself, don't invest in a woman or others, that cloth, phone, bag, shoes, whatever you gun buy for a woman, buy it for urself and use it to attract the women who have their own and build from there. If u like hood rats or women lower than u, it will work out too, cus they gun look up to u anyway.

Always take the high road if possible, use force or be aggressive as a last resort, when there is no other choice. If u feel someone disrespected u or any other minor offense, let it go, smile and keep it moving, u got more important things to worry about.

Always treat people with respect, don't care if they homeless or u meet them at the store, u never know who Is watching and besides there is no gain in treating people like shyt. Even the women that are rude and all that, take the high road, not worth it.

Whenever u start a job and they have benefits like 401 k etc, starting from your first check start putting money in there, don't think u not gone be there for a while so it doesn't matter, things happen and before u know it u working there 7 years so u already got 15 thousands put aside right there minimum.

I can't stress this enough, learn time management, it's a time to chase women, read, eat, exercise, etc. Have a schedule for the day, for example, read for an hour, exercise for an hour, whatever u like, just have a time limit so u can move on to the next project, and most of all respect yourself.

You dodged a bullet my nikka. It's all fun and games hittin' it raw until a grip is missing out that pay check. Shyt ain't a game lil homies.
I got more, but I got to go to work. If this thread is still alive, I'll contribute other shyt I've learned when I get off.

[Knicksman20]

Good advice in here. Can't stress to you younger bruhs to stay out of debt as much as possible. Only have one credit card (if you must have one) that you use for emergency's or small purchases. I started with an American Express card & it was good because it taught me discipline. You have to pay your balance off at the end of the month with that specific card so you know you can't get crazy with purchases. You establish good credit that way. If you don't have public transportation where you live buy a used car for cash. When you're in a good position to buy a new car & you pay it off keep "making car payments" to yourself in a separate account for about 4-6 years or more. Let that money stack & you can use that cash to invest, let it collect interest, or even pay cash for a house/condo/car.

 

[The Mad Titan]

1 Keep a paper trail, there will come a time at work when you are going to get confronted with why such and such happen. A paper trail has saved my job at least twice, you will get he said she said BS. Especially in IT...

2 Stay out of debt, the amount of stress this will save you will probably keep you alive an extra 15 years. if your 25 and in 10k you are headed down a bad path.

3 Dont stress women, and what they think of you.

4 Have safe sex if you out there having sex, the chances of ruining your life for 45 mins of pleasure just aren't worth it.

5 Take in as much as you can from older people, you don't have to hang around them. But when they talk, instead of being like.... "Here we go again" really listen and take what they are saying in.

6 Find the person that is most reliable at work and learn all you can from them. Depending on where you work this can be hard because people are scared to lose there job to someone younger, so they hold on to info. If possible fine someone that is older and maybe about to retire.

7 Hold on off kids, once you have a kid. Everything else becomes secondary.

8 Travel

Dont be afraid of doing your own thing and always remember no one wants what you want out of life.

That saying that you are the company you keep is 1000% true...Watch your friends and where they have you going, doing etc.

Read and learn as much as you can. There's books on everything and anything out there.. Take advantage of that.

Learn to be by yourself and independent. If you want to do something, do it. Go somewhere go. See a movie, eat at a restaurant go do it.. Nothing worse than feeling like you wasted time and missed opportunities.

When things don't go your way, dont give up. Try again and learn from your mistakes. Always give yourself a chance.

Set goals, stick to them and see them through.

Be smart with your money and put it towards things that matter. Your education, assets, investing etc.

Like most brehs here said already, women come 2nd. Live your life and become who you want to become. Be happy/content with yourself before settling down or it will be trouble. Dont live your life for a woman. If shes stressing you ..you dont need it..youre still young and women will come....build up yourself take care of yourself first and learn how to do things outside of a woman. Learn to cook, clean etc so a woman or anyone for that matter can say you are dependent on her or them for anything.

 

[BocaRear]

Good thread

 

[↓R↑LYB]

I forgot the most important one. Enjoy your hairline. Cause once it's gone it's never coming back

 

[kevm3]

1. Keep Jesus in your life.
2. Never talk down on others. You never really know who you are dealing with, and someone might be down now, but they could very well be ahead of you in the future and because you decided to run your mouth, you just possibly cost yourself an opportunity or made yourself a dangerous enemy.

3. Avoid car infatuation. Cars are one of the biggest money traps you will find. They depreciate in value as soon as you drive it off the lot, you have to worry about all the repair costs and insurance can be a huge drain. Buy something reliable, but don't waste your money 'stunting for the hoes' or some other nonsense. I guarantee you you will much rather have that 10,000+ in your account from driving a normal car as opposed to a luxury vehicle.

4. Save as much money as possible. Dress decently well, but NEVER dump all your money into clothes and shoes. As I said before, you will rather have had the money in your account. How often do you see a 35+ year old dude and be like man, he's sharp and 'hip'. Fashion will matter less as you get older, so you don't want to have a closet full of throwbacks, ed hardy's and a bunch of other expensive clothing you can't wear anymore because they went out of style.

5. Learn some entrepreneurial skill. Corporations are doing everything and anything they can to compensate employees less and less. Pretty soon, you'll probably have to work two jobs just to make it. If you're going to have to work 'slave like' hours, you might as well be the one seeing the compensation for all of that as opposed to having some fat cat feasting off of your labor and paying you peanuts.

6. Turn off the tv and read some books and get some knowledge. A lot of people get stuck because they use their freetime on NONSENSE. Real skills will be cultivated in your free time when everyone else is screwing around watching whatever garbage is on television. Being extremely competent will afford you opportunities other simply will not have.

7. Do not be afraid to do an about face if you find something isn't for you. I wasted years with accounting. I hated it. Now I'm focused on programming. At 30, it wasn't an easy transition, but it was necessary. Sam Walton started Wal-Mart in his 40s. Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's partner and also a billionaire, left law and joined up with Buffett in his 30s. If something isn't for you, don't be afraid to move on to something else, even if you had a huge investment in it.

8. A HUGE part of your life will be the company you keep. If you have highly moral friends who are all about uplifting you and who don't have snake-like characteristics, your life will be way better. If you're keeping company with sneaky or sinister folks, they can destroy your life in the blink of an eye.

Oh yeah, one more. Get your passport and research other destinations. Enjoy America, but don't TETHER yourself here. Explore the world and you will find that how we live in America isn't necessarily the 'best way'. If you find somewhere you enjoy more, find a way to make plans to possibly live there.
