Advice To Younger Self

Today’s post is inspired by a video on older Americans sharing advice to their younger selves (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1uqHLcWt48). I thought of the advice I would give to my younger self. When I was young, I had difficult times and struggles. One of the first things I would tell my younger self is that nothing stays the same. Everything changes and things generally get better with time. With time, you will figure out how to deal with issues and find solutions to problems. The second thing I would tell my younger self is that you have to learn to deal with difficult people and situations. As you go through life, you will meet people who are difficult and you will find yourself in some challenging situations. You have to handle difficult people successfully so that they do not derail your life. The third thing I would tell my younger self is to try to eat right and stay healthy. Later in life, I ended up with health problems. Maybe I could have prevented some of my health problems.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
