20's is the best time to indeed put ones creativity and productivity to use. Before any other thing takes your mind and will. Learning to influence and make reasonable friends is quite essential. Thank you so Festus for putting this together. I now see more need to use my 20s to the fullest before I Mount the bridge of 30. I can't wait to see the goodies you have for us on Thursday 😁. This newsletter is quite insightful.

Thanks for this writing and for this quote "We are expected to fail forward". I think we tend to forget this and instead, refuse to pick lessons from situations. Noteworthy.

Exactly. You’re right, Yetunde. We tend to forget this. That’s why we need to remind ourselves daily.

"You must also learn how to win friends and influence people" For a while now, I've had a great deal of a hard time keeping up with this rule...

You’re not alone bro. I used to struggle to keep up until I read Dale Carnegie’s How To Win Friends and Influence People and Daniel Goleman’s Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human relationships. Kindly find these two books and study them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
