I have to admit I m a tragedy when it comes to being first at trying new technology or so which means I ve fallen for more scams and shady situations than I d like to count.

(At least I can warn my friends and family before they make the same mistakes, so that's the only advantage.)

I decided to share some best practices I regret not doing sooner:

Ten years ago, if a Facebook post didn t receive enough reactions, I would delete it immediately.

Yep, 18-year-old Nika was terrified that people would notice her failure. Reality check: when a post flops, almost nobody sees it anyway. The only person who actually suffers from the low engagement is the original poster.

I think it was Robert Kiyosaki who said that straight-A students end up working for C students, and B students work for the government.

On the other hand, we often see stories of college dropouts building billion-dollar companies. But these next big thing cases are maybe 2% at most. I believe top students usually find their place in more formal paths: becoming doctors, lawyers, and similar professions.
