Meg Jay
“Our 20s are the defining decade of adulthood. 80% of life's most defining moments take place by about age 35. 2/3 of lifetime wage growth happens during the first ten years of a career. More than half of Americans are married or are dating or living with their future partner by age 30. Personality can change more during our 20s than at any other decade in life. Female fertility peaks at 28. The brain caps off its last major growth spurt. When it comes to adult development, 30 is not the new 20. Even if you do nothing, not making choices is a choice all the same. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do.”
Dr. Meg Jay, The Defining Decade Why Your 20s Matter

John Grisham
“Live your life the way you want. You'll figure it out.”
John Grisham

Steve Jobs
“I've read something that Bill Gates said about six months ago. He said, ‘I worked really, really hard in my 20s.’ And I know what he means, because I worked really, really hard in my 20s too. Literally, you know, 7 days a week, a lot of hours every day. And it actually is a wonderful thing to do, because you can get a lot done. But you can't do it forever, and you don't want to do it forever, and you have to come up with ways of figuring out what the most important things are and working with other people even more.”
Steve Jobs

“I think we should stop asking people in their 20's what they want to do and start asking them what they don't want to do.”
Amy Poehler

Mario Puzo
“When they come... they come at what you love.”
Mario Puzo, The Godfather
