I wrote one answer on Quora a couple of years back in 2015 when I just entered into my 20s. I guess those things which I learnt/realised still holds true. So I'm posting that answer as it is on this post.


" This is what I've learned so far:
  1. This world owes you nothing, literally nothing.
  2. You don't owe anything to this world too.
  3. You are responsible for whatever happens to you, good or bad.
  4. There is nothing like pre-defined destiny, you make your own!
  5. 80% of the fears never come true.
  6. Talking about fear, FACE THEM always!
  7. People don't care about you or your condition, they judge right or wrong, good or bad from their sense of perception!
  8. Don't expect Empathy from others, but that doesn't mean you have to be like them!
  9. Express gratitude whenever possible.
  10. Do good, don't expect anything in return. You will be happier.
  11. Be with 2 types of people always. One who are like you; other who you want to be like.
  12. Be passionate about something, practice that often!
  13. Engineering, MBA, Doctorate etc. doesn't ensure safe & secure life as the tradition goes. It's upto you what happens to you, just be confident!
  14. Don't have regrets, they will haunt you later!
  15. Learn, learn & learn as much as you can and whatever you want to.
  16. Explore the unknown scary regions in your life, they will make you stronger.
  17. Keep secrets to yourself until it is absolute necessary to share!
  18. Have a goal?! Go achieve it, STOP PROCRASTINATION. Life is shorter than you realize.
  19. Exercise daily, eat well and meditate often! If you take care of your body and mind, it will take care of you when you are old!
  20. You can achieve almost anything in life!
  21. Travel while you can.
  22. It's okay to be alone and love your own company. As I said, world owe you nothing (point no. 1).
  23. It's okay to cry!
  24. This time too shall pass, you shall lose people you never expected to in your life, so make sure to make good memories while you go along.
  25. You don't always get what you deserve and sometimes you get more than you actually deserve. Life is unfair!
  26. Not every great answer will give you upvotes on Quora! :P "
