The document provides advice and lessons the author wishes they had known when they were 22 years old. Some of the key lessons include: to trust one's own intuition rather than always believing what others say, as some people will lie; that having a job does not define one's life and career paths can take many forms; and that one should be well-informed by widely researching topics from different sources of information and types of people, rather than being unduly influenced by others. The author also wishes they had known that not everyone follows principles of compassion and ethics and that what is considered "right" or "wrong" may be open to interpretation.

1. What I Wish I Had Known
When I Was 22
By: Laurinda Seabra

2. #
To TRUST That my “INTUITION”
Never Fails …

3. #
To NOT BELIEVE everything
The most important factor that I wish I
had known is that some people lie, and
then they lie some more …
•Journalists
•Politicians
•Religious leaders
•Educators
•Business leaders

4. #
That there is NO JOB for LIFE …

5. #
That getting a “JOB” is not the
beginning nor the end …
and that a “JOB” takes many
forms and follows many paths.

6. #
That I was BETTER informed …

7. #
That I Researched More
• That I knew how to ask the RIGHT questions.
• That I had the will to question everything.
• That I had read about ALL types of opinions.
• That I had talked to ALL types of people.
And ONLY once I had analyzed all the
information I had made my own mind without
being unduly influenced by others …

8. #
That COMPASSION, ETHICS, VALUES
principles are not followed by all …

9. #
That what many say is “RIGHT”
or “WRONG” may not be either
… trust that you will always know what is
really “RIGHT” or “WRONG”

10. #
That I didn’t BUY into all the HYPE

11. #
NOT Followed the “Trends”
• That I allowed myself to be myself
• Not followed the latest fashion trends
because it was the “IN” thing
• Bought into the latest technology gimmick
• Seen the latest film because someone said
“I MUST”, etc., etc., …

12. #
That “LAW” and “JUSTICE”
are not the same thing …

13. #
There’s LAW and then …
There’s interpretation of the law …
•Justice is not automatically part of the legal system
•That laws are totally MEN made
•That not all LAWS are fair
•That some LAWS are created to support some
business or individual interests rather than
protecting the common good or even nature.

14. #
My last words of advice …

15. #
Remember that WE DO MAKE
a difference to the world we live
in through our actions …

16. #
Live YOUR life as “YOU”
and enjoy the journey …

17. #
WE are ALL here to LEARN
and GROW spiritually …

Thank YOU
Enjoy your day …
