Brain dump:
I'm thinking lately that it's a good strategy to just throw yourself onto things, experiment, after a while round up all your results and personal experience and make a conclusion if you like what you were doing or not
This is like science is done (sort off because usually in science you do experiments to prove your theory or disprove another's theory): you go an experiment, gather your results at then take conclusions.
And I think one should take the same approach in life. Go experiment some study area, job, position, be an entrepreneur, experiment being more active, some sport. Then after giving it a chance take your conclusions, say okay this is so much fun, or this didn't work, it's not for me.
One can experiment in multiple things in life: switch company
People get stuck in their comfort zone, or what I call the local minima. If you don't go out of that comfort spot, you will never know something much better is waiting for you. And think about how lucky you have to be to find a life situation that maximizes your happiness/money/fun without experimenting a huge amount of things. So, knowing it's almost impossible to find this maximum happiness (or even the global minima of unhappiness) I think you owe to yourself some experimentation to at least try to get close to it and not stop when things are good enough.
