I think we all have some regrets in life, I know I do. I'm only 23, but I would tell my teenage self to get more involved in sporting and social events while I was in highschool because I would have a greater number of friends now. I also would tell my younger-self not to get too drunk at parties, because you never want to be the most drunk person at a social gathering. What about you guys?
I am 24. Preteen: Disregard that prescription or the next ten years of your life will revolve around it. High school self: Live through this and you won't look back. Undergrad self: Don't waste time and effort fighting your nature, it doesn't add value. Relax around girls, they can tell when you see them as a target. Sleep more, panic less. You're funny. People like you. And yes, the amount of studying you do will be worth it.
I have no regrets...Would do it all again the same way in a heartbeat.//static.grscty.com//public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif
high school self; fuck school, quit being book smart. Having a shotgun, a rifle and a 4wd truck is cheaper than a college ed and gaurantees you can hunt, and fish, and live anywhere. You might not have a yacht and a 200k salary, but you'll meet the basic needs. I did a semester of that college shit, until I realized there was no gaurantee I'll find a good paying job. I would have told myself to learn construction, mechanic work, join the ag class and raise cattle. much more
Ok younger self, starting in 1979 I want you to invest your entire paycheck into Microsoft stock. Don't stop until 1998. Then you can retire.
Don't move in with a woman unless it is absolutely necessary. Don't smoke weed/drink alcohol/watch TV while the sun is up Monday to Friday. Save 30% of everything you make. No risky investments. Bank a/c. Before you go out at night have a wank, it takes the edge and pressure off. Listen to your gut, trust no one but yourself and you will do fine.
To me 10 years ago: "Just leave dota alone stupid guy. WoW isn't any worse or better but DON'T PLAY DOTA. it's a trap!!"
I would warn myself that the house I grew up in was going to burn down in 2009. I can't believe it will have been 10 years since I graduated in May.
but by doing so you would interrupt the space/time continuum and create a large vacuum that destroys the entire universe... time travel is dangerous yo
