Guide your Junior on Adulting

My dear friend. All of life matters and none of it matters.
Everything is important and nothing is important.
Fear is important. But so is the lack of it.

Acknowledge that it's normal to feel uncertain about the future. Focus on what you can control in the present moment.

Remember that everyone is figuring things out, even if they seem to have it together. Take small steps towards your goals and celebrate progress as hard as you can.

step 1: don’t talk properly, run your mouth loud step 2: cut your boss in between his sentences step 3: point fingers at people step 4: don’t shower, never shave, big messy hair etc

these are the four tales of being fealess. goodluck!

The amount of fear you feel at work is inversely proportional to the amount of generation wealth you have.

My mantra: I am not afraid of rejection, I am afraid of not trying.

-Never mix personal with professional

-Never contribute in gossip

-Never cut ties with anyone, no matter how toxic they are, you never know when you might need them as it's a small world we live in. Offcourse, distance yourself from people who feel toxic for sure.

-Distance over disrespect. Sums it up.

-Start dating early. This way you have a headstart. Trust me. Its not a distraction if you know your priorities.

Nahi guide karungi. 😂😂 Ps - sarcasm.

Please have some daru, then you feel like a hero to yourself.

Concentrate on the task at hand. Change your attitude to work matters more than hierarchy. You are there not to please people but to work. And treat companies as replaceable, if they don’t give you what you want, someone else will. Concentrate on skill buildings and with time things will become more easier.

Lots of good advice here already. However, I’d like to share a slightly different perspective.

Instead of trying to “overcome” fear, you might want to try learning from it.

Whenever you’re afraid of something, it’s often your subconscious mind looking out for potential threats and bad outcomes.

So it can help to acknowledge the fear, and meditating on what might be causing it. Instead of trying to get rid of your fear through suppressing it or rewiring your brain, try to learn from the hints it might be giving you.

It’s easier said than done, but you can start small. Take anything you’re afraid of, try to list down 5 reasons why it might be so, and put them to the test. Now the outcomes might or might not be desirable. But along the way, you’ll learn to embrace your fears as a warning/guardrail system, and not as an impairment.

And if you just can’t figure it out, do remember that things always get easier with time. Just try to recall the many times you thought you’d fail horribly or even die. Yet, here you are. Still alive and past whatever had happened. Given time, you can toughen up a fair bit.

Anyway, it’s just my two cents. Hope it helps. And in any case, all the best!

It means you're in your learning mode
Just balance it and for it.
