Most important thing you've learned in the past 5 years (self.asklemmy)

What's the most important thing or change you've learned/made in the past 5 years.

For me it has to be that vegetarian based meals are not inferior to meat based dishes. I find myself preparing and trying so many interesting and great dishes that I would've never considered 10 years ago.

How about you?

Don't stay at a shitty job just because you're scared of new things or because you think it's good pay. Put yourself out there and interview. Some interviews will suck, some job offers will be insultingly low, but eventually you'll find something better. And guess what? Maybe that one will end sooner than you'd like, but you're already practiced up and know how to interview and write a resume, so you can just dust yourself off and move on.

Also, if you get a huge pay raise, try to live at the same expense level as the old job. Maybe get a treat here and there, maybe fix that problem in your house or car you've been putting off, but don't blow all the extra money. Save some in case that new job ends and it takes a little longer to find more work than you'd like.

Okay but what if I have no idea what I want to do or what interests me, so I don't even know what to apply to?
