Tell me 5 reasons to be alive now as a mid 20 guy? How do you all keeping up the excitement on all these reasons?

System Engineer

I have always dreamt of playing an electric guitar on stage. I started to learn guitar in late 2020 and it's been 1.5 years since I stopped playing it do to multiple reasons like bad time management, upskilling for switching, work etc.

I always wanted to work in companies not directed towards IT such as Mercedes Benz, Philips, Samsung,  Siemens, Ather etc and work in areas where UI/UX design overlaps with physical product design. Physical product design is my first love and will continue to be so as that field still fascinates me. Not everyone is privileged enough to pursue their passions and might have to work in certain areas where they are partially interested and pay is good coz, hey! We gotta pay bills.

I wanted to learn multiple languages and was learning German a couple of years ago. Again, due to the reasons listed above, I had to drop out. I want to travel abroad for work, work in multi cultural teams etc.

I always wanted to run marathons and reach the top of Nandi Hills (a hill on the outskirts of Bangalore) by cycling because I was once a obese kid and wanted to prove myself wrong. Now, I have to loose 13 kilos and I'm on working on it. But I sometimes wonder if I can do these things as I had so much to work on.

I was pretty good in sketching. In fact, I was pretty good once upon a time in my design school. Now, I barely sketch. I don't want to loose that part of me who use to sketch day and night. I want to have an Instagram page with all the digital illustrations I wanted to make.

We live in times where one has to consistently switch jobs, upskill everyday, spend time with family and friends (not that I don't want to, but I also love my personal time), take care of aging parents, take care of kids, take care of household, travel to work, get enough sleep for 6-7 hours a day- basically be an adult.

I sometimes wonder if life is nothing but a graveyard of dreams. I understand that one can't do everything in life and sacrifice is inevitable in life.

Folks who are 30 y/o and above, do you still have dreams or are following your dreams while responsibilities pile up in life?

Product Designer

I am not the kind of person that is going to sit idle or while away my weekend hours.

I am hungry, hungry for work hungry for growth and hungry to hustle.

The problem is that apart from hunger I have no vision / set path on what I want to do.

I have dabbled around with various things, but have realised that I'd rather join someone else in their vision rather than set out on my own.

Unfortunately due to financial condition of family I cannot leave my day job.

So at least until I have the confidence that I'm doing well on the side hustle thing, I cannot afford to quit my main job.

I have full WFH so moonlighting is not really an issue for me.

So folks, does anyone have anything for me? 

I'm a web developer and can quickly learn and adapt to various technologies and tech stacks.

Contradictory to your lesson… I learned not to get too attached to your code. Bcoz it might just get scraped.

I am 24. I am at a job which I am good at, but it doesn't make me happy. I want to try out different things in life(tech and non-tech alike) and figure out what's truly fun for me, all the while outgrow myself from my comfort zone. 

Anyone who has felt like this or has successfully done this, need inputs/thoughts on how to proceed

I wish to try out different things. How do I go about?

What would you do differently in your life?

Comment below!

If you had enough money in your life so that you don't have to work for money, would you still do the same job you are doing?

like what do you want to achieve, what is your goal?

Why do you want to earn so much money(be rich)?

I just want to be debt-free, and feel like I can take a holiday once in a while, without worrying too much about how it could cripple me financially. 
  
 No tall ambitions, just want to have a happy life where money is not something I worry about on an ongoing basis.

Product Solution

Holi hai? Diwali hai? So what, nothing to enjoy. Lets spend the day laying on the bed, watching stuff over phone. Feeling less and less disconnected with friends, to the point where I feel I don't even have friends. College friends are based in another city. Didn't even try to make friends at workplace. Stuck alone in my homecity as past 6 years I was based somewhere else completing my grad and preparing for jee. Prior to that focused a lot on studies. So had little to no interaction with people during academics. And now when I have time and money to spend, there is noone with whom I can have fun with.

The older I get, the lesser my excitement becomes for festivals

Moved to a city from a Village. I felt the same. The reason is that cities are culturally and morally bankrupt.  Except mindless consumerism and inflated egos , cities teach you nothing. 
 The longer one lives in cities, people just become animals in fine clothes.

I work in remote mode full time, occasionally visit the office, once in 3 months. My office is located in a different city from where I live in.

The work I do is challenging and interesting, but I manage to complete my tasks by working for max 4-5 hours a day. Remaining time of the day, I get distracted, not with household duties but by doing research on random stuff. I want start a company, but I have no idea where to start. I consume a lot of information, yet most of the time I spend goes unproductive. By nature, I am very unorganized. 

Most of my friends are busy in their own world and I don’t want to disturb them seeking advice.

Any idea how I can get over this habit to make productive use of my time, while WFH?
