Probably the worst piece of advice consistently given to younger people is some version of “your 20s don’t matter, relax.” Every successful person I know started planting seeds in their 20s. The law of compounding interest applies to more than money.

Never been able to trust the advice of anyone who says, "something something dismissive... relax".
That’s b/c a they’re all variations on “everyone is gonna die, what does it matter”. It’s true and useful to meditate on, but often not what someone needs at vulnerable moments of life doubt.
