MUST-HAVES BEFORE YOU MAKE 30


1) A resume: a profile of jobs you can fit into
 2) A savings account: This should amount to 10% of your personal income.
 3) A good (well paying, fulfilling) job: that’s what people do when they grow up, work!!
 4) At least one good friend: arguably the hardest thing to come by
 5) A dream: not the one you have when asleep, the one you have that makes you not want to sleep J
 6) A belief that you can achieve whatever you set your heart to: founded on the awareness of your potential
 7) A big heart: being charitable doesn’t end at giving materially; it also includes receiving others’ crap
 8) A realization that one woman/man is enough: if you have two, you’ll still want one more
 9) A sense of pride: pride here is talking about a ‘good feeling’ about your heritage
 10) A sense of responsibility: responsibility simply means being accountable for your actions
 11) A good hair stylist: the importance of appearance cannot be overemphasized J
 12) A voter’s registration card: besides the fact that only grownups can own them, you should have a say in matters that affect you.
 13) A little brother/sister: a protégé, someone that looks up to you for direction and guidance
 14) A sense of direction: an idea of what you want from life
 15) A good sense of timing: timing is almost everything
 16) At least, one post undergrad certification: the biggest room in life is the room for self improvement
 17) A realization that friends come and go: this is a function of change
 18) A set of dating rules and standards for courtship: part of growing up is knowing what you want
 19) A healthy spending and saving habit: it’s called handling your business
 20) A strong spiritual base: by now you should have sorted out the question of faith
 21) A good sense of humor: growing up shouldn’t be so intense that we will forget how to enjoy a good laugh
 22) A defined social circle: how and who do you roll with? Take note that it has nothing to do with your financial status
 23) A relaxation routine: very necessary for creative minds
 24) A stable romantic relationship: for focus’ sake at the least
 25) Real life experience: you have been around for 30 years right?
