Smarter at 30 than at 20
Life is slowly catching up with me and being all of about 31 now comes the dawning of the realization that I might actually be in my 30’s and no longer 18 something. Or so my girlfriend likes to remind me. Still, I think all guys are essentially kids at heart.
Having said that, Cowboy Caleb has an interesting list of things that you know at 30 but didn’t know at 20. My favourites:
1. It’s not how much you look like you’re worth, it’s how much you are actually worth
Too true. London was full of them. 16 year old Pulp Fiction gangsters that were out spending on Daddy’s credit card.
2. You don’t have to know everything to get a job done, you just have to know who can do the job for you.
The ever onward progression towards being managers in our later life rather than technicians.
9. Your parents age, just like you
Yes, apparently they do. That’s probably the hardest pill to swallow post-30.
10. Becoming a millionaire by age 30 was not a realistic goal
Yeah, now I’m waiting until 40. See you in ten years.
11. Your sex drive will slow down
I thought it peaked at 18?
13. The search for God continues…
Not in my case. He’s there but he’s left us to sort out our own shit. He’s got better things to do like managing anti-space and the eventual shrinking of the universe.
