As a 20-year-old young person, I realize that I experience my life as I create and imagine it. What I am doing shapes my life. This shaping includes what I am reading or writing. I choose exposure to what I read and watch, and thus all of these shape my mind and behavior. My interest area shapes my perceived abilities. Knowing that exposure to something shapes my life is critical now due to my age and biological abilities.

My biological abilities allow me to be strong and untired. While having unlimited energy and the ability for untiredness, I have a large scale to do and create what I want to achieve in my life. Due to living in a business world, I should focus on my missions. Like said in the beginning, choosing what I want to expose is playing a critical role in there.

Social media has the biggest effect on human thought. Almost everybody has access to the internet; thus, major groups such as communities and societies can be influenced by social media algorithms. Algorithms create a special one for each person, so they have an addiction potential aspect. Exposing these same or similar contents by algorithms has a strong effect on viewers minds. People who watch the same or similar content for hours have decreased abilities in understanding, comprehension, and creative thinking.

In the opposite, reading books and exposing effective communication increase abilities in comprehension and critical thinking. For instance, reading a book is a slow event, so it is a slow thinking process. In this slow thinking mode, readers tend to think deeply and be open to comprehending behind the perceived. In slow thinking, people pay attention to their decisions and reasons for their decisions. Also, it includes better comprehension of reasons other people think. Understanding people's choices creates an open-mindedness to all thoughts.

Slow thinking is playing a more critical role in the 20s due to the brain's flexibility. In these ages, people can feel free to do everything they want to do, but it is just a mistake. These ages are the most important years for someone due to having a limited time. For this reason, being sure about life achievements and finding ways to achieve them is important. Someone wants to be a teacher, and another wants to be a horse rider. They need to know what is best for them.

As a young person, I still have to find my goals for my life. It is a process, and it is normal. I spend a lot of hours on the internet to be professional in my research area, and it takes time. I have to pay attention to news that happened in my research area. I follow newly published articles and news sources to learn more knowledge about psychology and linguistics. This process is sometimes hard and challenging, but I am sure that I will achieve what I do want to be in my life and in this day.

Finally, I should know my needs and prioritize them.
