17 Mistakes Everyone Should Make Before They Turn 30

Everyone makes mistakes. But no matter how much humiliation, pain, or sadness they may cause, every misstep helps us learn and grow and ultimately be better people.

In fact, some mistakes are even necessary for your future success — and you should try to make them while you're still young.

"There is a lot of talk about how kids aren't being 'allowed' to make mistakes, and this is hurting them in the long run because they aren't building the skills necessary to deal with change and be resilient," says Michael Kerr, author of "The Humor Advantage: Why Some Businesses Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank."

"If they don't learn that failure is part of growing early on, then they may be less equipped to deal with failure later on in life," Kerr says.

Here are some necessary mistakes everyone should make before turning 30:

1. Bomb a big presentation. 

"Even polished, professional speakers and public figures lay an egg now and then, and it's an important lesson to learn early: It happens, and you'll survive," says Kerr. "And you'll realize it's not the end of the world, and you'll learn a ton about what not to do and what to do next time."

2. Date the wrong person.

Whether it's the "rebound" person or just a bad choice, most everyone's done it. Discovering what you don't want early on will help you make better choices with all your important relationships, says Kerr. "It'll help you learn things about your own values and life goals that perhaps you weren't aware of." 

3. Stick with a terrible job.

Even if the boss is horrible and the pay is bad, don't just give up and jump ship. Stick around for a while and try to find a solution — even if it seems like a terrible move at the time. "The way you handle yourself in this situation will forever shape the way you treat people when you're in charge," says Ryan Kahn, a career coach, founder of The Hired Group, and author of "Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad."

4. Feel entitled, at least once.

"Assuming you were going to get that promotion or be assigned an important project or made team leader are all mistakes you should make at least once," says Kerr. "Learning from these types of mistakes will remind you to not take things for granted and to never sit back and assume something will be handed to you."

5. Hit rock bottom.

Before the wildly successful "Harry Potter" series came to life, J.K. Rowling was a single mom in her 30s on welfare, with no job, no money, and a child to raise on her own. 

In a 2008 commencement speech at Harvard University, Rowling discussed how hitting rock bottom forced her to finish the first Harry Potter book. She says:

"I've often met people who are terrified — you know, in a straitjacket of their own making — because they'd rather do anything than fail. They don't want to try for fear of failing," she says. "[Hitting] rock bottom wasn't fun at all — I'm not romanticizing rock bottom — but it was liberating. What did I have to lose?" 

6. Get fired.

If you're ever going to get fired, doing it in your 20s is the way to go, says Kerr. "Getting fired early on can be a brutally tough life experience, but it can serve as a huge wake-up call for change if there was a performance issue."

It may even serve notice that you were on the wrong career path — and better to learn that in your 20s than in your 40s.

"Being fired or laid off also teaches you the most valuable life lesson: That ultimately you need to take 100% control of your own destiny and develop the skills necessary to always have a viable back-up plan and take responsibility for your own life," he says.

7. Change jobs three times.

Sure, it won't look great on your résumé — but by trying out different career paths you'll gain insight into what your true calling is, says Kahn.

8. Take the wrong job for the wrong reasons. 

It might be because of the money; it may be because you felt this was the only option at the time. But learning this lesson early will help you define your values and set you up for a more fulfilling career in the long run, Kerr explains.

9. Say whatever's on your mind without any regard for anyone else's feelings.

This is part of growing up and navigating relationships, both personal and professional. "Making the mistake of deeply offending someone can serve as a wake-up call to be more empathetic around others and help you develop better communication skills," says Kerr. 

10. Burn bridges.

Obviously you don't want to do this frequently, but making the mistake of burning a bridge once or twice can actually be beneficial.

"It's sometimes more challenging to see the long-term consequences of our actions when we are younger, and burning bridges can come back to haunt us in substantial ways," Kerr says. "Learning to walk away from a difficult situation on a positive note with your head held high is an important lesson to carry with you throughout your life."

11. Go out with your friends, even though you have work to do.

"You'll always find ways to get that particular work project done, but you'll never find ways to retake that particular moment with friends," Kahn explains.

12. Offend someone with your humor.

This may not seem like a huge deal, says Kerr, "but navigating the minefield of appropriate humor in a business setting can be a challenge for people starting out in their careers, in extreme cases even costing them their jobs." Figuring out where those lines are and that everyone has different tastes and perceptions is a critically important skill to learn early. 

13. Risk everything.

Risking everything for an uncertain career or romantic relationship might seem like a huge mistake to most people, but everyone should do it once early in their life. It can pay off. And if it doesn't, you will at least learn something from the experience, so it won't be a total loss.

14. Be passive.

"It's natural, especially when you're young, to sometimes sit back and want to please everyone in the hopes of making sure everyone gets along," says Kerr. "But being too passive and not learning to ask for what you want can lead to missed opportunities — and the earlier you learn that lesson, the better."

15. Think you have all the right answers.

This is a mistake you'll make over and over again your whole life. Each time, you'll be one step closer to realizing you're not always right — so it's best to start thinking this as early as possible. 

16. Blame someone for your mistakes.

You should blame yourself or someone else at least once. It will help you realize this isn't productive. 

"When something goes wrong, instead of looking for who to point the finger at, look for ways you can create solutions," says Kahn.

17. Think mistakes are always a bad thing or a personal reflection on you.

"Mistakes are life's feedback — they are research; they are part of your education; they are necessary stepping stones if you are actually putting yourself out there and growing," Kerr says. "If you aren't ever making any mistakes, then chances are you aren't taking any risks or trying anything new, and as you get older that may end up being the costliest mistake of all."

Interiors of Bhaijaanz, the Salman Khan cafe

Expect Salman Khan fans to be as unique as the superstar himself! While our film industry got together to start a Bollywood Walk Of Fame to celebrate the contribution of stars in developing the world of cinema, fans of Salman Khan decided to honor their idol in their own way. 

Admirers of the superstar Khan have started a 'Salman Khan' themed café titled Bhaijaanz (since Salman is fondly known as 'bhai' by his fans) in Bandra, a suburb in Mumbai. The interiors of the café have many of the elements that represent the filmy world of Salman Khan.

Starting with the wall, it is decorated with a huge portrait of Salman Khan's sketch. Though the actor currently styles himself differently, this avatar in the photo frame represents the look that Salman Khan used to sport during the Hum Saath Saath Hain days. 

If that wasn't enough, keeping Salman Khan's action avatar and well built body in mind, he has been given the look of the popular superhero 'Hulk' in one of the portraits used for the decor of the cafe. Also, Salman Khan is known for his shirtless avatar which he often flaunts in most of his films.

One of the most novel elements of this café is yet another photograph of the superstar. Though the initial look is that of the actor sporting trendy shades, when you look at it closely, you will find different snaps of the actor, from his 'on the sets' pictures to his public appearances to his TV show images that together form the background collage of this huge portrait. 

If that was not all, the wall hangings include frames that represent the different looks Salman Khan has experimented with, throughout his career, starting from Maine Pyar Kiya to his recent Kick.

Around the staircase, there are photo frames which denote the exact release dates of Salman Khan movies and birth date of his close ones. The walls are also decorated with some of his popular dialogues like Ek baar jo maine commitment kardi… among others Looks like it's the new addition in the itinerary for Bollywood lovers and especially for Salman Khan fans when they visit Mumbai.

Women's Access To Mobile Phones Increasing in Afghanistan

As of late 2012, 80 per cent of women in Afghanistan have regular or occasional access to mobile phones, found the Unites States Agency for International Development (USAID).

In a report released yesterday, USAID surveyed over 2000 women in Afghanistan about their access to mobile phones and the constraints they face. The study found that since 2002, when the first mobile telephone service license was issues in the country, mobile technology has grown rapidly. Almost 48 per cent of the women respondents own their own mobile phones, while another 32 per cent have occasional access to phones.

Strikingly, 67 per cent of the women who own a mobile phone acquired it in the last two years. Women under the age of 25 are the fastest growing group in this sector – 64 per cent of those who acquired a phone in the past year are under the age of 25.

Access to mobile phones is already increasing the economic and social opportunities available to women. Twenty-five per cent of the respondents who own a mobile phone use it to access services such as education, health care and income-generating opportunities.

More than 84 per cent of respondents view mobile phones as a necessity, not a luxury, and 86 per cent of women mobile phone owners believe that increased connectivity enhances women’s lives, making them more secure, better equipped to cope with emergencies, more independent, and more social.

The report revealed some key insights for mobile service providers in Afghanistan. For example, only 71 per cent of women said they are able to read an SMS. According to UNESCO, only one in five women in Afghanistan is literate. This unveils a large market for voice-based applications and services, such as interactive voice response systems, text-to-voice services, and call centres.

While 94 per cent of those who do not own mobile phones are not intimidated by the new technology, the biggest barriers to mobile ownership for women were lack of permission from family members, and the high costs associated with mobile phones. While basic feature phones cost between US$29 and $48 in Afghanistan, offering attractive packages such as installment payments or discounted rates can help reduce the digital divide between men and women.

The Afghanistan government, along with international agencies such as USAID, are accelerating the use of mobile money in the country, improving transparency in payments and expanding financial inclusion. Increased mobile access among women will bring them into this fold, and increase entrepreneurship and other commercial opportunities available to them.
