10 things you need to do before the age of 30

1. Bump Yourself

Years between 20 and 30 - the last peak in developmentthe brain. Of course, the brain will remain plastic in the future. But after thirty there will not be so many new neural connections, and you will not be able to learn something new as quickly as before.

To use the brain to the maximum, you needengage in a variety of activities. After all, only those neural connections that we use are developing, and unused atrophies. We become what we do every day.

In science, this is called "survival of the most active". Young people who effectively use their brains, leading an active lifestyle, become more successful in the future.

2. Build a career

Work at this age is very important for career growth. In addition, a higher percentage of salary increases falls on the first ten years of working life.

In twenty years it seems that there is still a lot of time to make money. But in fact, the salary level by 40 years, as a rule, reaches its maximum value.

It is best to start a careerstudent's bench. Do not take up the chance work, so as not to waste time in vain. Remember: someone who has thought about a career quite late, will never be able to catch up with his more agile peers who remembered earlier.

3. Find a promising job

Find a job that matches your qualifications. If your resume is full of notes about work, for example, in a cafe, this leads the employer to think about your degradation.

In addition, this choice of work may be negativeaffect not only the resume, but also the whole life. The scientists found out: if a person does not work for 9 months without qualification, he has a depressive mood and his motivation drops. In the future this can lead to apathy and the inability to do anything at all.

4. Try to meet a mate

They say that opposites attract. It's a delusion. To create a strong long-term relationship, partners should be like each other.

At first glance it might seem that to finda person who resembles himself is not that difficult, but not all similarities are suitable. Couples who meet or marry do have a lot in common in terms of attractiveness, age, education, political views, religion and intelligence. So why in this case so many divorces? The problem is that although people are able to find similarities between themselves and others on such obvious criteria as age and education, in the opinion of researchers, these factors are more likely to interfere than contribute to the creation of a harmonious union.

Only the similarity of personal qualities is essentiala factor contributing to the creation of a harmonious union. Partners should have intersections on most of the five points - these are five factors that determine how people interact with the outside world: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, benevolence, neuroticism.

5. Get married

Marriage is perhaps the most important event in life. And it is important to choose the optimal time for its creation. It is known that alliances concluded before the age of 20 often break up because of the immaturity of their spouses, so many tend to postpone marriage for later.

But this is another common mistake. After all, people who have married, for example, after thirty, may indeed be more mature, but late marriage has a lot of problems. Instead of developing together at a time when their twenty-year-olds are still in the formation stage, partners who begin to live together later may have established habits and formed qualities. And the former ties, in which the partners did not seek to assume obligations, are sometimes devastating, contribute to the formation of bad habits, and kill faith in love. And although long searches do allow to find a more worthy partner, the number of unmarried men and unmarried women decreases with time.

That is why it is optimal to marry between twenty and thirty years.

6. Have children

It seems that fertility is only a women's problem, but today the situation is changing: the more couples give birth to children after the age of thirty, the sharper the issue of choosing the age for both spouses.

Twenty to thirty years is the best time for birthchild. Later, the fertility level decreases, it becomes more difficult to conceive and bear the child. And the quality of eggs decreases, and the endocrine system, which is responsible for hormones and pregnancy itself, becomes less effective.

Therefore, it is not necessary to transfer the birth of children to a later age.

7. Make a fateful move

Scientists have analyzed the autobiographies of outstandingof people. They tried to determine what time in a person's life would be most crucial. It turned out that the most significant events occurred between the ages of twenty and thirty.

Remember, 80 percent of significant things happen in our lives to 35 years. Later we just continue what we started, slightly changing our plans.

8. Engage in self-development

Invest in yourself. This will help you to make a career and develop your personality.

Young people over twenty who giveenough time to self-development and know how to be responsible, later become more successful. They are able to achieve goals, realistically evaluate events, more confident in themselves. And this is the way to a high level of life satisfaction and stress resistance.

9. Think about who you really are

Try to understand what you want from life and by whomyourself feel. Often it seems to us that we are what we are not. We talk about ourselves - as "wrong" or "not this". But this is not self-identification. Identity or career can not be built on what you do not want. You must pass from the negation, that is, the sense of who you are not, to affirmation, or to the sense of who you are.

Only this will help you understand what you want from life.

10. Change and Become Responsible

Psychologists are sure: age from twenty to thirty years is the best to change. The time when it is easiest to switch from anxiety to confidence or to overcome the consequences of an unhappy childhood in a short period of time.

At this time, the personality develops with the help ofability to "continue to live and move on." If you run away from adulthood, a person will stop in development. Only thanks to investments in himself he can grow and develop.

Such changes require that we take upon ourselvesadult commitment. These obligations change both our position in society and who we really are. Investments in love and work start the process of maturing the person, and the status of an employee of a large company helps to become more responsible.

Already the very existence of goals can make us better - both now and later.

Age from twenty to thirty is time,when a person's life is like a plane flying in a zone of turbulence, but if you learn to control it, you can get farther and faster. So let's go on the road - now is the most suitable time for this.
