    Default One piece of advice....

    Someone recently posted a pic of me when I was 18 on another forum in my birthday thread, and it made me realise how much I've changed since then. Physically a little, but more mentally.

    So, it made me wonder; what one piece of advice would you give to your 18 yr old self?

    Oh, and whoever contributes 'don't eat yellow snow' will be neg repped!!!!!!!

    GO!

    The one piece of advice I'd give my 19 yr old self would be stop parting and hit the books. At the time it was no big deal but now I regret not finishing college.

    Do not date women that you meet at work! but When speaking to women do so with confidence. You don't need to fear rejection.

    Don't take shit from anyone. Ever.
    Men don't show emotion, except rage, because it takes strength to show soft emotions. Most men don't have that kind of strength. They keep things inside. Then they kill someone.

    I would tell my 18 year old self that life is too short to ever fight or hold a grudge.
    Don't sweat the small shit
    sushi isn't all that great
    save money now you will need it later
    Watch out for the lazy guy you train. he'll end your career if you let him
    help a friend in need
    and slip him some advice to have sg get a mammogram sooner

    Brandi Starr : i will miss you
    Brandi Starr : me loves ya.

    I like all of these so far! I'm still trying to work out my own advice for myself, but I agree with a lot of these.

    I'd tell myself don't make so much yellow snow, you never know who might decide to eat it.

    Treat women as bad as you want because no one cares and no one is keeping score in the long run.

    1)Your not god like... you only get so many chances to make the same mistakes.
    2)Don't fall for the insanely hot brown haired girl that will smile and flirt with you in about a year, she will cast a spell upon you that will take up a good part of your early 20's
    3)SAVE MONEY!!!
    4)Work sucks but its something that we need to do...
    5)Pay off those tickets and stop speeding...
    6)Don't lie to your friends...
    7)Oh and the blonde girl that your friend will date, a few months after they break up she is going to put all the signs out there for you to hook up with her... do it... EJ will be pissed but he will eventually get over it...

    I think I turned out pretty good as of now. 17-20 I spend many hours and a ton of money partying it up in the bars and drinking way to damn much. I wouldnt change that, although I woulda had more money back then haha. I at least got all that crap out of my system when I was slightly younger than most and because of that at 23 I now have 3 different careers under my belt. Alot of my girlfriends are hitting their party hard stages now in life 21-24/25ish and going to college to upgrade or take some bullshit course while having a part time job in the malls. Sweet for them if thats what they want I guess.

    So I guess in the long run I didnt really have any advice for my younger self. I think I did pretty good

    only reason i didn't respond to this thread was because of this haha -- i don't have any advice either =( granted this was only 3 years ago for me HAHA -- i was presented with a couple career changing decisions which have all worked out to be AMAZING for me.

    either way i tend to try and not regret any decisions i make for obvious reasons.

    At 18.......That Mustang was broke into pieces, knocked down telephone pole, fencing, signs. 36 days in ICU alone and numerious complications, only by Gods grace I am still here.......

    If I had a chance to go back and tell my 18 yr old self anything... it would be... DON'T GET IN THAT MUSTANG
