give some advice to yourself.

What advice would you give yourself 10-40 years ago?  

The advice can be about this hobby, love life, career or anything else.

Here are the 4 things that I wish can send some advice to myself after college.

P4P hobby  
Start ASAP once you have a nice bank account, because you will never be able to experience so many beautiful girls without paying for it.

Career
Everybody in corporate America is trying to back stab you to get ahead and always look out for the next better opportunity.

Love life
Don't try to change the girl that only goes for assholes and always puts you in the friend zone.  

$$$$
Buy Apple stock after seeing everybody having an orgasm while talking about their Apple products.

To my teenage self

Stop trying so hard to be an overachiever. None of the things that you force yourself to do now will matter in adult life. The corporate ladder is climbed by those who don't look like you.

Stay away from HER!

DON'T marry that one!

Would've saved myself 20 years of my life with a woman who ultimately lied to me from day one. Course, I believed her, so how naive was I? Thus the good advice...

My 4 things

1.  Church will be a huge waste of time. Use that time to sleep in, work out, learn a new skill, read, etc

2. Work out more. You'll feel better and your future self will love you for it

3. Study accounting.

4. Therapy might be good for you

Ditch the mythical religion.

And those weird girls who want on you? They're normal. They'll make you happy. Ditch the stripper, the hot waitress is hot for you.

back to the future

P4P...WTF are you thinking??? You love your wife and family and you don't want to hurt them or lose them...DON'T!!!

Career...Find something where you can work for yourself.  You can make as much as you are willing to work.  Don't be a wage slave schmuck.

Love Life... Go for it early or you will be stuck in that damn friend zone.  Once you're in it, you're toast.  

$$$$$....learn about investing early....play the market...buy real estate, either for resale or rental.

and to myself.....don't sell that john boat to buy a damn computer and go back to school for a Masters that is not going to increase your earnings in the long run.  Just enjoy the next 10 years taking your son fishing.

You're right.

Riding a motorcycle is an excellent way to have a low life expectancy.

My Advice

Treat others the way you want to be treated.!
Always Tell The Truth!
If you have a disagreement with a friend or loved one, at least be fair.
Hit the gym several times a week!
Hit the desert bar a couple times a week!
Hit the Alcohol once a week!
If your company offers you a 401K maximize it.
Enjoy the ladies on TER as long as you may afford it.

Hey, no argument there. I'm not exactly trying to live forever either.

I'd tell younger me: "Get confident, stupid!"

LoL
No, but something along the lines of not waiting so long to realize what a bad ass I can be.

Plans are all well and good, much of the time; but a lot of the best stuff happens without a plan, or right after the plan went to shit. Every once in a while, fuck a buncha planning.

Oh, yeah and probably something similar to what you said about women who only go for the assholes. Being with a woman who loves herself, knows what she's worth and how she should be treated is so much better. And easier!

Must have been the wrong boyz to drive you away to the other team. To think, I might have saved you. Perhaps I can bring you back. Give me a chance?

I would tell my 21 year old self to invest my $1000 in

a movie that was advertised in 1981, looking for investors. Minimum $1k investments wanted.  
I chose not to after asking friends and family.  

In a year and a half, that $1k was worth $185k. By now it would have paid millions.  

The movie writer's name was Paul Hogan. The movie he wrote was Crocodile Dundee.  

Missed the big one.

to my teenage self...

1> You are actually much better looking than you think you are! ask out the girls you think are the hottest you know the ones you think are out of your league.

2> two complete babes you fell totally head over heels for and became very good lifelong friends with.  You didnt ask the one out EVER and during a conversation with her 20 years later she fessed up she felt the same way about you and was hoping you would ask her. The other one... the one night at the Drive-In was not enough with her you needed to lay it out and tell her how you felt about her and go out with her again! Turns out she also felt the same but didnt think you liked her ENOUGH.

3> In about 5 years the one you think is "the one" is going to leave and it's going to break you COMPLETELY. AFTER this happens get back out there within 6 months and start having fun again.  Don't stay depressed and single for the next 13 years working yourself into a shell you will have a very hard time getting out of later! This 13 years should be your prime time for finding new love and having fun, not to be a loner.

4> when you are in your mid 40's you are going to realize that particular degree you didn't quite think you needed to go after will have made your value in your field about 170% of what it currently is. All other things being equal.  You will still be doing ok for yourself but you could have been on the whole next level!

5> Confidence....  It's nearly ALL that matters in getting what you want. You need to work on improving your confidence some.

To my 18 year old self . . .

1) Don't save . . . invest.  

2) Your credit score is real.  

3) Community college is the same as a big dog university . . . no need to be in a shitload of debt later.

Stop trying to be someone you are not

Stop trying to be extroverted and make lots of friends.  It's ok to study or relax on a Friday night.  People come and go out of your life so focus on your education (to my freshman year of college self).

List would be too long if I went back 40 years ...

Let's say 10-20--I was middle-aged by then and had already made some of my biggest mistakes but still had plenty more up my sleeve.

Listen to yourself when you stop liking that job. It's not going to get better, and you won't succeed in making yourself someone you're not. Start looking around and bail on your own terms.

The next time she brings up divorce, take her up on it.

Remember working out? Meditating? Flossing?? Get back to it. Don't stop this time.

Right around Medicare age, with your beard gray and most of your hair gone, two hot twenty-somethings are going to have crushes on you and you'll be getting all those smiles and second looks you didn't get in college. You might want to take that phrase "too old" out of your vocabulary.

And the one thing I'd repeat until I was sure I got through to my dumb-ass middle-aged self:

Whatever else you do, whatever else you don't do--spend more time with your kids.

Advice

Don't slouch down in your seat while you are sitting in front of the computer all day. Your neck and back will hate you for it 40 years from now.
