I have found not one, but two secrets to a more fulfilling, successful life. They are:
1- focus on your blooming - it's never too late to start improving yourself. Find out what you are insecure about - do something about it! They always say you never regret a good workout - I can tell you it's bloody true. I have OFFERS to line up my dms; the more I worked hard, the better the offers are. the invitations, the network that came along with it. It's unbelievable and it's worth trying.
2- craft your own path - don't take the usual paths. Make your own, be you, be special. Not everyone can be no. 1 in your field - most certainly not you, statistically. But you can bring different perspectives and diverse backgrounds into your work. You don't need to be harvard or Oxbridge grad to be good, because you bring YOU. Make sure YOU are a unique entity, not typical uni grad. For instance, I'm a biochemistry grad with experiences in business development - that is the one thing that the interviewers are always curious about... and most often allow me to win these competitions.
I would add try new experiences to the next. But it's already very clear and cliche.
