How should we plan our lives at the age of 20?

Read more books, more good books. Human life is finite, but the ocean of books is infinite. The books you have read may not necessarily be specific in terms of how much it will help you in your work.

But books can influence your mind, your life, and then your life. Have one or two hobbies of your own. Sometimes, a hobby turns into a career.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Don't think of anything as utilitarian. Have your own independent thoughts, independent ways of thinking.

People say that plans can't keep up with change. But having a plan is about having a plan. Too many things won't go your way.

The plan doesn't really require you, you have to do it according to the plan. And it gives you a goal. Know what you want.

The scope of your life, what kind of life you want to live. Only when you understand yourself can you give yourself an answer and let yourself have a better life plan.

Big strategy vs. small plan. The grand strategy is to formulate an overall plan to realize the ideal, and constantly follow this strategic plan to think about your great life ideals. The small plan is to divide the big strategy into one stage at a time to complete.

It is impossible for anyone to reach the sky in one step, and it is more rewarding to complete a small plan. For example, if you decide to take CET-4, the big strategy is to keep learning English, and the small plan is to insist on memorizing a few English words and doing a few reading comprehension articles every day. It is also easier to increase your self-confidence after completing small projects.

Know yourself. Lao Tzu once said, "Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong.

The first thing to do before planning your life is to have a thorough and profound self-analysis and understanding of yourself. Find out your strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, etc. Ask five questions:

I'm going**? I'm here**? What do I have?

Is my gap in**? What should I do? It is far easier to understand others than to know yourself, and it is not easy to have an objective and clear understanding of yourself.

Focus on your specialty, in your field, and do the best you can be. Only when you are strong enough can you live your life on your own terms to the fullest. Set goals for yourself and don't be ambitious.

You don't have to give yourself a detailed plan for 10 years. You can be specific to a year, a month, a week, or even a specific day. You can be a better version of yourself every day.

Aim high. What is the ambition of the bird? A person's ambition is crucial and determines the development of his life.

Throughout the ages, all those who have achieved great things have had lofty ambitions. Thinking about the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was just a straw shoe seller at the beginning, and it was with the great ambition of reviving the Han dynasty that he achieved a great cause later! If Liu Bei's ideal is just to do a small business to support his family in troubled times, then there must not be a three-point world later.

Ideals are the guiding light, without ideals, we will lose the goal of struggle, and we will not be able to succeed.

Belief. Once you have great ambitions, you have to establish an unwavering belief in yourself. Tang Seng in the well-known Journey to the West is a good example.

He is determined to obtain the true scriptures in the west, and no matter what kind of dangers and difficulties he encounters, he will never waver in his heart. If Sun Wukong goes to the west alone to learn scriptures, he won't be able to walk for a few days, and he won't know how to run** to play. Therefore, without firm belief, no matter how great the ability is, it is useless.
