Let’s look back all these years you’ve gone through, what have you done for your life?

 Are youspending your time wisely to make your life worthwhile?

 Neal Wu shared some ways we shoulddo to make our short time of life meaningful, find out what you need to do next:

a. Make friends as opposed to networking

Your friends will go a lot further than the professional contacts you make, especially since onlyone of the two groups is invested in your personal happiness.

b. Become an expert by learning as much as you can and deeply seeking out the thingsyou are curious about

Find the things you enjoy and practice the skills you want to develop. If you can achieveexpertise then it will be easy to obtain an audience.

c. Volunteer to help out those less fortunate

In the process you will gain a ton of new perspective and will better understand otherpeople’s real problems. In a society that always looks upward, these people are being forgotteneasily.

d. Become as independent as possible

Even though you work in a big company, you should constantly make small steps to reduceyour dependence on your job. Write a book, build an app, or start a small business on theside. Release your inner entrepreneur.

e. Don’t spend too much time worrying about your personal brand

Accomplish（完成） things, and the recognition will follow.

f. Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake

Genuine（真正的）interest should be what drives you to improve yourself, rather than a desire to beatothers. Find a community of people who are interested in the same things as you do, and driveeach other to keep improving.
