DENIS:I would advise a twenty-year-old to be bolder, not to be shy about anything.
Because, yes, you're a sucker, but as it turns out later, everyone is more or less a sucker. It's just that there are suckers who think they're suckers, and there are suckers who don't think they're suckers. And this is the main difference between suckers. And the suckers who don't think they're suckers think the others are suckers because they think they're suckers. And I would advise you not to think that you are a sucker, because there is no fundamental difference between you suckers. You're kind of a sucker, but not so much a sucker compared to other suckers. Be less of a sucker and don't be shy, just be a confident sucker.
No, you won't know how to live properly when you're a little older. So live as you want right now.
And no, real life doesn't start when you solve your problem/finish college/move out of your parents ' house/find a job. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR 20 YEARS, YOU IDIOT!
Probably the same as for yourself at any age : Do your own thing – the rest will arrive. And if it doesn't arrive, do it again and again, do it to the fullest, without thinking about the results and without stopping there.
I would recommend the same thing to a 20-year-old as I do to myself now or to a 45-year-old, because this is a method and practice, not a ready-made advice. I don't believe in static advice, the world is dynamic. I'm 25 years old at the moment.

Don't be too explicit. Be more cunning and cold-blooded. Especially with girls. Don't be a clown, but be humorous. Try to give everyone the impression of a normal, modern, respectable person.
My friend, you have a good job, salary in dollars, in the yard of the 90th. Don't drink it up, don't squander it, put off another thousand, a fifth, at least a year until 2015. You idiot, it won't hurt you, and then you'll probably buy a house in Novaya Riga…
Just at the age of twenty, I was so incredibly lucky that there was only one thing left to advise: go for it, don't stop, you (me) will succeed. The world is great, life is beautiful!
I'm only 23, but still..)
It's easy to let go of people, not idealize friendships, appreciate what you have, keep quiet about your problems and use all the opportunities to once again embark on a journey.
