Many of the world's greatest golfers turn pro as teenagers and grow up right before our eyes.

Yet, down the road, it is easy to forget just how much many of these golfers have changed since they started their pro careers, and how much better their fashion sense has become.

On the next few pages we'll take a look at what guys like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Tiger Woods looked like before they were famous.

If you're young and your career is in its early days, you've likely been privy to plenty of career truisms and clichés.

But if "follow your passion,""give 110%," and "be true to yourself" just aren't cutting it for you anymore, perhaps advice like, "don't work too hard" and "relax" are more up your alley.

These successful people have offered some of the best — and oftentimes unconventional — advice for people in their 20s:

Warren Buffett: Exercise humility and restraint.

In a 2010 interview with Yahoo, Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO Warren Buffett said the best advice he ever received was from Berkshire Hathaway board-of-directors member Thomas Murphy. He told Buffett:

Maya Angelou: Make your own path.

In her book, "The Best Advice I Ever Got," Katie Couric quotes author, poet, dancer, actress, and singer Maya Angelou:

My paternal grandmother, Mrs. Annie Henderson, gave me advice that I have used for 65 years. She said, 'If the world puts you on a road you do not like, if you look ahead and do not want that destination which is being offered and you look behind and you do not want to return to you place of departure, step off the road. Build yourself a new path.'

Richard Branson: Never look back in regret — move on to the next thing.

Richard Branson's mother taught him that.

"The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures, rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me,"The Virgin Group founder and chairman told The Good Entrepreneur. "I have fun running ALL the Virgin businesses — so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve."

A Peruvian company has taken adventure tourism — and hotel design — to new heights.

For about $300 a night per person, Natura Vive houses intrepid travelers in Skylodge, a series of three sleeping pods that jut out on a mountainside in the Peruvian Andes.

But there's a hitch if you want to visit: the pods are accessible only after hiking or zip-lining over 1,000 feet to the four-bed suites, which each have six windows, a bathroom and a dining area.

Natura Vive was founded in 2008 by Ario Ferri, a mountain climbing guide who designed the hanging suites. The adventure tourism company also conducts rock-climbing and zip-lining tours.    

Here's what the cliff-side hotel has to offer.

Visitors climb 1,400 iron rungs to reach the two-year-old Skylodge, with a steel cable tied around the body for protection.

You could also zip-line all the way to the cliffside suites.

Guests enter the pods through submarine-style roof hatches.

Square is one of the easiest mobile payment systems for businesses to use.

Square is a software platform that enables retail stores and restaurants to accept mobile payments via iPads, iPhones, or Android devices. 

Jack Dorsey, the company's founder and CEO, is also currently serving as Twitter's interim CEO; just after news broke that Dorsey would step in at Twitter, reports surfaced that Square was planning to go public. Sources say the company may have already filed a confidential registration document with the SEC, which is permitted for companies with less than $1 billion in revenue.

Square's most recent round came in late last year, when it raised $150 million at a reported $6 billion valuation.

Lending Club allows peer-to-peer financing.

Lending Club is one of the world's biggest online lending marketplaces. Last year, Lending Club's IPO was the largest among all US tech companies. Renaud Laplanche, the company's CEO, founded Lending Club to let people provide low-cost financing to their peers. Now, it lets institutional investors do the same.

The online credit marketplace raised $870 million in its IPO last December. It's valued at more than $7 billion.

Stripe helps developers and website owners accept any type of payment method.

In September, Apple announced partnerships with a number of retailers and payments companies for its Apple Pay service. Among them was Stripe, a five-year-old mobile-payments startup. According to its website, Stripe currently powers businesses out of nine global offices in 20 countries. The company focuses on beautiful code and design to create user- and developer-friendly experiences.

Recently, Stripe has been in talks to raise a funding round that could see the payments company, which has previously raised $190 million in funding, reach a valuation of $5 billion.

Whether you're asking for a raise or negotiating your salary at a new job, one thing stays consistent: it's nerve-racking. 

But it's also necessary. An analysis by Salary.com suggests that not negotiating could potentially cost you more than a million dollars over the course of your career. Not that knowing that makes it any easier.

We combed through research to collect some of the simplest — and most surprising — strategies that help lead you to what you want.

Always use precise numbers in offers and counter-offers.

Throwing out your target salary as $103,500 seems a little bit silly — doesn't $100,000 tell pretty much the same story? — but research from Columbia Business School suggests that using precise numbers makes a more powerful anchor in negotiations. 

According to Malia Mason, the author of the study, kicking off a negotiation with exact-sounding numbers leads the other party to think that you've done research to arrive at those particular digits — and that, in turn, makes them think you're likely correct. 

But...

...It's better to suggest a salary range rather than a single number.

Using precise numbers doesn't mean using single precise numbers. In a separate study, Mason and her Columbia Business School colleague Daniel Ames found that presenting a salary range — including and above your desired target — is the best way to get results.

In the past, organizational psychologists thought a range would work against you — wouldn't people just fixate on the lower number? — but Ames and Mason found that's not the case. 

Presenting a range works for two reasons, they say: It gives your boss information about what you're actually asking for, and it makes you seem polite and reasonable — which means you're less likely to get hit with a hard-line counteroffer.

Open with something personal, and your negotiating partner will respond in kind.

In an experiment where Kellogg and Stanford students negotiated by email, those who shared unrelated personal details over the course of the negotiation — hobbies, hometowns, etc. — ended up getting significantly better results than those who kept things to name, email, and the dry monetary details.

Opening up a bit sends a signal that you're trustworthy, according to Wharton professor Adam Grant in a LinkedIn post, and makes it more likely that they'll reciprocate. 

From England's Westminster Abbey to Egypt's Valley of Kings, to the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, amateur photography is prohibited in some of the world's most spectacular locations, making sure these iconic and historic sites aren't overrun with selfie sticks and people posing for Snapchat stories.

But some people have been able to creep by the rule, discreetly snapping photos while security guards aren't watching.

Some of these forbidden photos have made their way to Instagram, and we picked out 37 of our favorites.

Whether you have the newest, fastest Android phone available or an older device that's starting to show its age in its declining performance, there's a neat little trick that should speed up the overall feel of your Android phone.

It involves enabling a secret menu reserved for developers and changing some settings.

But don't worry, it's extremely easy to do and completely reversible, harmless to your device, and it should take all of two minutes.

This will work with most Android phones running the latest version of Android Lollipop 5.0. Just don't mess around with other developer options in that secret menu!

First, go to your phone's settings and find the "About phone" option. It's at the very bottom of the list of settings on most Android phones.

Then scroll down to "Build number" at the very bottom of the "About phone" menu, and tap it repeatedly until you get a little popup window that says "You are now a developer!"

Now, hit the back button on your Android phone to go back to the Settings menu, and you'll see a new "Developer options" option right above "About phone." Tap it.

Summertime requires a crisp and refreshing beer.

The best place to find such a brew?

It might just be Austria.

Austria is home to dozens of brewers, many of which began operations more than 500 years ago. At one of them, you can even go swimming in beer.

Earlier this month, I went to Austria and tried as many beers as I could.

I decided to put my palate to the test against radlers, pilsners, hefeweizens and lagers. 

And one runs a brewery that offers you the option of quite literally swimming in beer. Have a look. If you happen to like one recommendation so much, you just might be able to order direct from Austria!

Here are some great options to enjoy on a hot day, rated from one to four steins. 

Ottakringer Radler

Radlers are very low on alcohol (a meager 1.5%-2%!) because they're about half-lemonade, half-beer. Still, they are super-refreshing with a strong citrus taste. The Ottakringer Radler is smooth and accompanies any day over 82 degrees just right. Ottakringer was founded in 1837 in the Ottakring district of Vienna. Rating: 3 steins. 

Puntigamer: this beer tastes like Busch.

Puntigamer is a pretty good beer for a hot day. Which is exactly when I had it: on a warm Vienna afternoon to accompany the first of many schnitzels. It is a brew that veers closer to Busch than toward Heineken, however. There are a lot of mediocre lagers in Austria, to be honest. This one comes from the town of Graz in southern Austria. Rating: 2 steins. 

Ottakringer Helles Bier: tastes like Heineken

This is very different from the Ottakringer’s Radler and very, very good. Reminiscing of a Heineken with this tasty little feller. The Helles bier is the most popular Ottakringer brew, and for good reason. The lager is a big upgrade from Puntigamer, for comparison. Rating: 3 steins.

Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Michigan

American splendor is an understatement when describing the Grand Hotel—a sprawling, 386-room resort on Michigan's gorgeous Mackinac Island. The brightly colored, tapestry-laden rooms feel like jewel boxes, while the porch (once the longest in the world) is a historical homage to the lost art of doing nothing. (Isn't that what vacation's all about?)

Lake Austin Spa Resort, Austin, Texas

Days spent at Lake Austin Spa Resort are filled with activities such as morning yoga on the dock, paddleboarding on the lake, and maybe a late afternoon cardio class. And it's easy to commit to being so healthy when a hot tub, massage treatments, and two pools await you when it's time to wind down. Book a blowout at the resort salon before heading to an on-site cooking class or wine tasting, or just spend the evening watching the wildlife from your private porch.

Jenny Lake Lodge, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

This lodge, located within Grand Teton National Park, gives mountain life a decidedly luxe feel. The eco-resort is made up of private cabins with pristine views, but the real highlight just might be the food. Seasonal five-course dinners (think grilled watermelon, hickory-smoked trout, and cumin-dusted lamb loin) are served in the lodge's rusting dining room—and included in the booking price.

Alan Stern is spearheading the most important space mission of 2015.

On July 14, 2015, the NASA spacecraft New Horizons flew by Pluto — closer than any other human-made instrument has ever been. Alan Stern is spearheading the mission, leading the team of scientists that made sure the spacecraft survived its nine-year journey through space. 

Until New Horizons reached its closest approach to Pluto, little was known about this dwarf planet and its system of five moons. Now the NASA spacecraft has collected data that Stern and his team will be analyzing over the coming months to understand the geology, composition, and atmospheric content of Pluto in significant detail, something that would never have happened without the New Horizons spacecraft.

Stern is the principal investigator for NASA's New Horizons mission.

Andrea Accomazzo was the first person to land a probe on a comet.

In August 2014, the Rosetta spacecraft began orbiting the comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko and transmitting images to Earth of the dusty space snowball that were more detailed than anything we'd ever seen.

Ultimately, Rosetta will give scientists a better idea of what comets are made of and how they work, as well as provide insights into the chemical makeup of the solar system. As the Rosetta flight director, Andrea Accomazzo helped design the mission and led the team that guided it toward 67P. Now he's working with the European Space Agency on their interplanetary missions to Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter.

Accomazzo is an ESA spacecraft-operations manager at Venus Express and the flight director of the Rosetta mission.

Andrea Pocar took us a step closer to understanding how the sun generates energy.

We all know that the sun is a gigantic nuclear furnace, but until now we didn’t know exactly how it produces energy. To figure it out, scientists have been tracking pp neutrinos — tiny particles released when two protons fuse together deep inside the sun, as lead author Andrea Pocar presented in a recent paper on the Borexino experiment. Through the experiment, scientists are analyzing the elusive particles by blocking out all other noise around a vat of material that emits light when excited by a neutrino.

Because these neutrinos are proof that protons are fusing within the sun, finally observing them helps confirm our theories about how the sun creates energy using fusion — and what's going on inside while that happens.

Pocar is an associate professor in the department of physics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

A billionaire's massive and secluded estate on Georgica Pond in Wainscott, New York, is on the market for $95 million.

Pharmaceutical billionaire Stewart Rahr, the self-proclaimed "No. 1 King of All Fun," told The New York Times that he's selling "Burnt Point" because he now summers in Europe.

The 25-acre piece of land was originally purchased by commodities trader David Campbell in 1996 for $10 million, according to Forbes.

Campbell had architect Francis Fleetwood design the sprawling 18,000-square-foot eight-bedroom house. In 2004, the estate was sold to Rahr for $45 million, which was the most expensive home ever sold in the state of New York at the time.

Rahr recently transferred ownership of the property to his charitable foundation, The New York Times report said. Corcoran has the listing. It's definitely a dreamy summer home. Now, we're going to take a tour.

This is Stewart Rahr, aka Stewie Rah Rah and the No. 1 King of All Fun, as he refers to himself.

Welcome to the Burnt Point Estate at Wainscott, built in 1997.

If you're flying in from the nearby East Hampton Airport, this would be your view. The two-floor, 18,000-sq.-ft. estate rests on a 24-acre property with many amenities.

In January, climbers Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell set a record by being the first to free-climb the 3,000-foot walls of El Capitan, a vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park in California. 

It's considered to be one of the hardest climbs in the world.

The climbers documented their climb with incredible photos that show just how hard their journey was.

Here is the Dawn Wall on El Capitan, where we get a glimpse of the wall's height and the beautiful scenery of Yosemite in the background.

From afar, it's difficult to see just what the climbers went through in order to set their record, but when you look closer, you can see that the two used tiny cracks in the walls to help them with their ascent.

Finally, after 19 days of the difficult endeavor, the two celebrated their record-breaking journey to the top of the Dawn Wall.

Dropbox has made a name for itself by delivering on a simple promise: nearly instant access to the files you need on any device, as long as you have an internet connection.

Even in 2015, many are still getting used to storing their personal data in the cloud. It's easy to not think about saving your precious documents and photos in safe place until your computer is stolen or your hard drive breaks. And by then, it's often too late.

The security of having your files backed up in case of emergency is an obvious plus of using a service like Dropbox. But Dropbox has become much more than a digital locker in the cloud for your documents. It can help you collaborate on projects with co-workers, clean up your photo library on your iPhone, and even help simplify how you do email.

Maximize the free space Dropbox gives you

Every Dropbox account gets 2GB of free space, but there are several things you can do to earn more free storage without paying a monthly subscription.

You can get up to 16GB of free space by inviting friends who haven't signed up for Dropbox yet. Each successful referral gets you 500MB.

To get 3GB of free space, download Dropbox's free photo management app Carousel. If you link your Dropbox account with its email app Mailbox, you'll get an additional 1GB of space.

You can see all of the extra storage you've earned for free under your personal account settings.

Enable two-step verification to protect your account

If you don't want to put your Dropbox account at greater risk of being hacked, make sure to enable two-step verification. What this means is that whenever you try to log into Dropbox on a new device, a secondary code will be sent to your phone number. You'll have to enter that code along with your main password to log in.

Two-step is bit of a pain, but it's good way to increase the security of your account. Enable it under the security section of your account settings.

Use Selective Sync to control which folders sync across devices

Dropbox has a feature called Selective Sync that lets you manually choose which folders to sync. This can be helpful if you have a particular folder on your desktop you don't want showing up on your smartphone, or vice versa.

The setting is found under "Account" in the Dropbox Mac menu bar app's preferences. On Windows, Selective Sync is available under the same area of the Dropbox app's settings.
