2. Life is better at teaching LESSONS than teachers and bosses!
3. Understand communication techniques, money, economics and politics!

Nothing) It’s better not to change the past: we are now because of what we did)
@serhii_uspenskyi I totally agree.
Follow your heart.
That’s it’s perfectly alright to make mistakes and no one is meant to be perfect.
@therahulv I'll tell myself exactly the same thing.
@therahulv well said
Well, not 17, but if I was 11 again:
- Start building your social skills
- Use internet to research and get better
- Start going to gym and learn martial arts
ok imma stop here cuz the more I think about it, the more I wanna add. Point is I was a damn fool and wasted my teenage years.
@timesnotion we all made one mistake or the other. I'm sure the lessons learned has brought us here now.
This is very interesting. Best wishes for your launch
Built and executed all those ideas I had. Oh man they were a lot of ideas! But I guess we will learn from our past to become better now and in the future.
@aidarousheikh I totally agree with you
Never give up.
@oleg_eltsov a really important advice
Do what makes you feel fulfilled
@pothamram totally agreed.
If I could go back and talk to my 17-year-old self, I would share some valuable insights and advice to pave the way for a more fulfilling and successful journey. I'd remind myself to embrace failure and setbacks as stepping stones to growth, as they are inevitable parts of any entrepreneurial endeavor.
I'd encourage my younger self to take more risks and not be afraid of pursuing ambitious dreams. It's essential to believe in yourself and your ideas, even if others may doubt you. Surrounding yourself with supportive and like-minded individuals can make a significant difference in your entrepreneurial path.
I'd also emphasize the importance of continuous learning and staying open to new opportunities and experiences. Embrace curiosity and be hungry for knowledge, as it will undoubtedly fuel your creativity and drive.
Lastly, I'd whisper a hint of the future, teasing the upcoming launch of Retime(https://www.producthunt.com/prod...). The journey ahead will be challenging, but incredibly rewarding, as I'll soon embark on the adventure of creating a game-changing meeting assistant that will redefine how professionals approach their daily meetings.
So, my 17-year-old self, buckle up and get ready for an exciting ride ahead! The best is yet to come! 🚀
