What's the most important thing for young people starting out in society?

It's investing more time in making important decisions.

There are three major decisions you make early in life.

Where you will live,
who you will be with,
and what you will do
.

We spend almost no time deciding what kind of relationships to start.
We invest a lot of time working at a job,
but we spend almost no time thinking about what career to choose.
What city you live in can almost completely determine the direction of your life,
but we spend far too little time thinking about which city to live in.

You need to say "no" to every offer
and carve out time to solve the important questions.

Those three things are probably the most important questions.
