Life Mistakes We Made in Our 20s

[@HuiUPSB]

Your channel is an absolute goldmine for knowledge and wisdom -- thanks so much for sharing! Time to binge the videos. I would love a reading list/video about the books that had the biggest influence on you . Best wishes from a young law student.

[@EmandLloyd]

Thanks so much, Jeffrey! That's also a great suggestion - we'll definitely consider doing a video on that down the road 😊

[@adanthamer3022]

Omg guys this video so great I'm a new subscriber and I have alot of things to do But I'm gonna I dedicate hours of my time To watch the other videos of your great channel 😭🖤🖤🖤🖤!!!

[@ryannhorh]

thank you! I need this so much as an Asian University Student

[@junksinsound4736]

Well, the Chinese saying" 塞翁失馬" , "a Blessing in disguise" for you 2.

[@Aidan_Au]

Thanks Em and Lloyd for being so vulnerable so that we don't have to make these mistakes. An honorable mention could be Em not quitting earlier. When I watched Em's quitting video, my biggest takeaway is that we should not let lifestyle inflation get to us and only spend less than what we make. Before I watched this mistakes in 20s video, for a split second, I thought that one of the mistakes may be you and Lloyd were gonna have a kid. But that won't be a mistake because your kid will be the smartest and prettiest child in the world. Also, I don't think any of your videos are cringey at all! You don't have to be Torres Pit.

[@EmandLloyd]

Thanks Aidan, and agreed re quitting! Though I also think since things happen for a reason, it may have been just the right time for me ☺️ - Em

Great video!

You guys are so underrated! Video quality is 💯as always

You are awesome with this video

[@cee6408]

Your videos have their own style, and in this context, they are powerful and cohesive. I think they are perfect!

[@EmandLloyd]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@Aidan_Au]

The last one is big. I also that I and many people would have realized that sooner. Ask yourself if those people would show up in your wedding or funeral.

[@Avant402]

Oh, yes I definitely agree with your talking points within the video. Especially when it comes to taking breaks. It's only now that I am starting to realize that breaks are important and they are necessary for both good mental and physical health. I also agree with being perfect in what I do with regards to work. As a Data Scientist working in government I always strive to make sure that things are done correctly, whether I was writing new code for a program, or whether I was doing research, I had to make sure it was done properly , which resulted in me being burned out. I also went through this perfectionism while I was an undergrad and graduate student at university. I just had to make sure that my notes were perfect and in order, because at that time and as a student, I thought that was the best way to study. I'm still a work in progress when it comes to changing these habits. As always great video!!!

[@EmandLloyd]

For sure - it's always tricky trying to find the balance between being conscientious and pushing oneself too hard, and between being meticulous and being too much of a perfectionist... we're definitely still a work in progress when it comes to this too, but definitely something we're conscious of and working on continuously. Thank you so much for watching, and for leaving such a thoughtful comment!

This is literally the first time I’m commenting on KZbin- omg the vid is just so relatable and gives me so much energy 😭❤️

[@EmandLloyd]

Thanks so much for commenting! 🥰

Mistakes makes us human! And we grow to be a better version of ourself 😊...mistakes made in 20's is fine!! You are young and got PLENTY of time to recover and do the right happy thing ! 👍

[@leywinfps]

I really like em's lessons great video keep it up :0

[@pearlynng4639]

[@heliumonion5121]

good interview materials🤣

[@janeliestory4249]

I realize that I have the same problem of being to personal and I just feel better after watching your video! Thank you!

[@mengchunzhang3140]

I am a Enghlish learner, today I open up your video and love it, I appreciate your video and cannot helping to agree your view any more. it is very important to someone to foucs himself more than others, in fact nobody care about what you do and what you are, you just yourself ,you can do what you want others acutally just such as NPC like computergame. I might draw up your world whatever other think about it;

[@brianma7563]

As an aspiring lawyer and a person in his early 20s, all of your advice are so relatable. This video is definitely a good reminder to me!

[@EmandLloyd]

Very glad to hear it - all the best with your education and career journey!

[@SoL-sn2xi]

It appears that many corporate jobs in the modern age such as finance (investment banking & PE), accounting (big4), law all have in common of overworking their employees. I have seen many posts, videos and heard anecdotes of people quitting from all 3 sectors I mentioned. This is truly something revolutionary - I don't think people used to quit like this in waves in the past years/decades. Firms need to care more about their employees and work life balance.

[@Bourgeois-Bohemian]

Great advice. I'm at 30 and have been through those. Look forward to more videos!

[@luciannaguo9230]

Hi Em and Loyd. I am a manager in clinical trials industry for drug development. I have enjoyed your videos from last year and at the biggest struggles of my professional/personal lives your video has been a great encouragement to not to give up on yourself! Although I cannot really relate to the technical aspects of law jobs, but the daily routines are definitely identical e.g. work load, working 24/7 etc. I made my decision last week to quit and take a rest. Recharge and rethink. I would like to thank you for making these videos and let people know that they’re not alone at their darkest times of their career life. So thank you and I’ll continue be a subscriber. ❤

[@erices621]

Such excellent advice. I have been in biglaw for 10+ years and find your advice incredibly helpful. This channel is such a hidden gem!

[@EmandLloyd]

Thank you so much - that's really nice to hear from someone who's been in the industry for so long! Appreciate you checking out our videos and leaving such a nice comment :)

[@meenbao7650]

I have been telling my boyfriend who’s in big law for 10 years to take a break. We never get to travel as he’s constantly on work calls. Right after he discovered your video, he suddenly came to realization of how important taking break is 🙄 any tips you can share on how you two stay in love despite the long working hours and lack of holidays

[@nearshek]

Excellent video. I think those 4 points are linked. The real-world problem is often open-ended. When to stop and when not to take it personally are usually because the things are not clearly showing what is right or wrong. Focusing on your own interest and professionals are somewhat good ways to experience the life journey.

[@seongjinpark993]

Great video as always guys 👍👍

[@EmandLloyd]

Thanks Jin!!

[@kevinkingng]

Agree haha. That s why i left the industry as well.

[@DUNESTITCH]

What a cute couple! Love the honesty

[@ngcy21]

Every insecure overachiever in their 20s should watch this

Really needed this right now! Thanks for sharing!

[@Sherry-fl3md]

Hi Em and Lloyd, hello from Singapore! I just discovered your channel recently and I love watching your high quality videos! I’m also working from home currently like Lloyd. Could you create a video to share about how you guys make coffee everyday? The machines, the beans, the milk etc. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work 👍

[@EmandLloyd]

Thanks so much for the kind message! We will have a think about that - we do love getting our coffee footage (and getting our daily coffee in), so can definitely consider this.

[@Sherry-fl3md]

Thank you so much!! We’re really happy you’re enjoying our videos 💟

[@claudiagavrilescu6799]

What an eye opening video. I made the same mistakes too in the past and I’m still working on some things nowadays. I can totally relate to trying to make my notes perfect before I started studying. I didn’t even realize that those actions were attributed to me being a perfectionist. Looking back, I can’t believe how much time I wasted loll. Keep up these awesome videos! 😍

[@EmandLloyd]

Thanks so much Claudia! I think these things will always be sort of a work in progress, but the the 'progress' bit is what matters most ☺️

[@hannesRSA]

My biggest mistake in my 20's was to be in the wrong country. Overworked and have barely anything to show for it other than being worn out. The same in a 1st world country is worthwhile.. I'm pretty sure you'll look back on your hard work in your 20's and appreciate it.

[@karinazhuang3876]

The first mistake really corresponds with me. I realized that I burn out very very quickly and it has nothing to do with the job but with how I do the job. I kept changing jobs very often bc I thought the problem is the job itself. I think I still don't know how to prevent the burn out. It is the pressure I put on my self and the imagined expectations of others.

[@jll3502]

Please make a video explaining "Heresay" objection.

Hello, I came across your channel recently and found your videos inspiring and helpful. Is it possible to have a video about how to be confident and stay focused? I watched other clips of yours and It’s really impressive how you are able to concentrate on your work for such a long time each day and of course, always be so confident to express your thoughts. And thank you again!

Hello Em and Lloyd, 很喜欢你们的频道。一个小小的推测，播放量较低可能是因为“干货”太多了。单位时间内的信息太多，语速也很快，可能会让看的人有点累，特别是在忙碌一天后的冲浪时间，打开这样的视频会需要一点心理建设。我现在也是看到一半缓缓来写个评论。😝也许视频还是比较适合文字量较少的表达方式（虽然这也是它传达信息量效率较低的缺点），不知道你们是否考虑在其他以文字为主的平台更新呢？中文社群有小红书，英文的话不太了解，也许多尝试几种平台会有不一样的收获。
