Lee Know explained he has friends that are also the same age, but many of them haven’t found the path they want to take yet.

Regarding graduating and getting a job late, he said that rather than thinking about these things as setbacks, think about them as you just needing more time to prepare.

He then quoted the chorus of Stray Kids’ 2018 release “My Pace” and said, “There’s no need to rush, my pace. Don’t compare yourself with others. It’s okay to run slower.”

Regarding age, Lee Know brought up a topic he had heard about on the internet. According to what he saw, it takes eleven years to become an expert in something.

From ages 0 to 11, you can’t do anything professionally.

So starting from 22 years old, a person could theoretically become an expert in something by age 33.

With this timeline, a person could become an expert in four or five things throughout their lifetime.

Though Lee Know doesn’t think this number is a must.

You could do one thing twice as long instead, which Lee Know thinks is good too.

He ended the conversation by saying, “If you’re 25 years old, it’s just the beginning.”
