The truth you'll only understand when you turn 30: wasting time is the biggest liability in life.

You can spend 3 hours scrolling through short videos, but you can't even spare 1 hour to study. Achieving nothing and owning nothing—that's the consequence you'll face at 30.

However, if you stop what you're doing now and make a comeback, it's not too late, even if you're already 30.

Three key truths you must understand:

1. Ordinary people always think, “Wait until I’m ready” before starting. But you—act immediately, correct your course as you go. When Ang Lee was casting the lead actress for "Brokeback Mountain," 100 actresses auditioned. The director asked who could ride a horse; only Anne Hathaway raised her hand and said she could. In reality, Anne couldn't ride a horse. After being cast as the lead, she immediately signed up for horseback riding lessons. That's learning by doing.

2. When choosing a project, don't look at how much you can earn, but consider the cost of giving up. In an era of fierce competition, nothing is easy to do, but anything can be done well—it all depends on how you do it.

3. Connections and resources only matter if you have the capability to utilize them. What problems can you solve for others? That’s your real network and resources.

Otherwise, it’s just a label you've heard—stop saying you know so-and-so. Relationships built on interests must be exchanged with equivalent interests.
