𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝟮𝟬 If you're between 10 and 20, you're sitting on a goldmine. Not of money. But of 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Here’s what Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe, wishes more young people understood: 𝟭. 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. Go deep into things. Programming. Writing. Design. Physics. Whatever pulls you in—master it. Depth builds your edge. 𝟐. 𝐆𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. Test widely, then commit. Don’t limit yourself too early. By 20, you’ll start seeing which things truly light you up. 𝟑. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 “𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞” 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲. Yes, think about what’s useful. But joy matters too. The combo of interest + impact is where magic happens. 𝟒. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. Most people don’t. If you do, that’s your edge. Work becomes play. Play builds power. 𝟓. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞. Find people your age—or smarter—on the internet. DM them. Learn with them. Build with them. This is your unfair advantage. 𝟔. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐜. Books. Blogs. Essays. Longform. Read more than others and you’ll think better than others. 𝟕. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐬—𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. If you feel something’s important, chase it. History shows: the next generation is usually right. This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s a playbook. Use your teen years to build your silent superpower: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲. It’ll quietly make you unstoppable by your 20s.
