Take risks, say yes to all opportunities, try to fail often.

I don't mean risks in the sense of things that put you physically or mentally in harm's way, but trying ideas, learning new things, new activities etc.

Some reasons: the explore/exploit tradeoff is massively in favour of exploring when you're young, you have almost nothing to lose, very few responsibilities and so much time (relatively speaking to later in life).



Try everything once, except folk dancing and incest.
