So your twenties are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options. So when we think about child development, we all know that the first five years are a critical period for language and attachment in the brain. It's a time when your ordinary, day-to-day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become. But what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development, and our twenties are that critical period of adult development. But this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing. Newspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood. Researchers call the twenties an extended adolescence. Journalists coin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults". It's true. As a culture, we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood. Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things, you need a plan and not quite enough time. Isn't that true? So what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you say, "You have 10 extra years to start your life?" Nothing happens. You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition, and absolutely nothing happens.我们知道20多岁时性格的改变要远远多余其他时期，我们还知道女性的生育能力28岁达到巅峰，在35岁之后会变得棘手，所以20多岁就是培养自己对于健康和今后选择和时候。当我们想到儿童的发展，我们都知道前5年是脑部语言区和大脑中其他部分发育的关键时期，那段日子看似平常普通，却对你以后的成长有深远的影响。但是我们对成年士气的发展知道的却很少，而20多岁是成年发展的关键时期，但很少有人告诉20多岁的人这些话。报纸说20多岁是成年的过渡期，研究人员说20多岁是青春的延长期。记者为20多岁的人起的外号是“夹在中间的人”和“成年孩子”。这是真的。我们已经习惯忽视了成年期中这个具有决定性的十年。莱昂纳德说要有大成就，你需要一个计划和很少的时间。说的很对嘛。你想想，如果你拍着一个20多岁的年轻人的脑袋说：你还有十年时间开始你的生活，这会发生什么？什么也不会发生。你已经能够偷走了他的紧迫感和雄心，所以当然什么也不会发生。
