The Ultimate Guide To Your Twenties
It’s a very crucial time
Hey, Workie!
Breaking News!!!! Apparently in America you don’t get an A unless you score 92 upwards and Nigerians had a whole lot to say about this grading system.
Little sneak peak:
You people should come and write exams here with that same 93 brain na. Enu po. That is why the average 40-score Nigerian goes there and dusts everyone and makes others look dumb.
You are talking dust

Hacking Your 20s
Everyone says your 20s are the best time in your life, and while I don’t know about it being the best time, it’s definitely a very important time.
While you should definitely have fun, you should also try to make decisions that’ll make the subsequent decades easier.
It probably sounds like a lot of pressure, but just take a deep breath and be secure in the fact that you don’t need to have it all figured out yet.
Although it’s okay not to have it all figured out, it’s not okay to be complacent.
Here are some things you can do in your 20s to make life easier for yourself:
Learn Financial Literacy: If you’re someone that subscribes to the notion that the more you make, the less issues you’ll have please dead it!! Budgeting, Investing and Saving (BIS) these are the things that separate the rich from the poor.
Explore Careers: Work on building your resume, network and build connections, explore different paths and figure out what you’re good at. Don’t pigeonhole yourself.
Build Relationships: Find a few quality friends who support your aspirations, motivate you and challenge you mentally.
Develop Skills: Learn a skill, whether for professional growth, career advancement or just because. Coursera’s got your back with this one.
Discover Yourself: Take the time to understand your values, passions and long-term goals.
Your twenties are about building, not proving yourself to people. You need to focus on building character, skills and relationships, not curating an image for people that don’t matter.
