Saw this elsewhere, found it interesting how similar some of the advice turns out.
What advice would you give to yourself at the then age of 16?

Mine would be something to the effect of:

1. Get over that "puppy-love" of yours Blitz. You know, the Farah Fawcett "one-that-got-away". She balloons up to over 200 pounds, has 6 kids & is still not happy. Talk to those other pretty girls in H.S. they're just as intimidated as you are.

2. You will go to college, stay in school or you will end up in joining the Army, getting out & being stuck 1/2way around the world, working a deadend job with an awful boss.

3. Should you join the Army anyway, don't marry that German chick with the great rack. Oh, and when they put you in front of that prototype computer hooked up to communicate with another computer, imagine how you could make money with it because almost everyone will soon have one of those things.

4. If you can't imagine how, then invest in the folowing companies when they appear: Microsoft, Apple, Google.

5. Stop smoking, you idiot. You say you'll quit when cigs hit $1.00 a pack, but you don't until they break $5.00 some 30 years later. Drink, but learn your limits. Work out more.

16, easy, women will be around when you're 20, 30 and 40. Keep your pecker zipped. My life would be dramatically different if I had that understanding 15 years ago.

I posted a version of this a few years ago when one of our lads hit a "milestone" birthday year. Was that you Jeremy?

It's worth revisting, even in my personal "geezer-hood", imo

Keeps it kinda simple and cool, plus, looks forward, rather than behind.

I make it a point to listen to that "song" from time to time.

As far as what I'd say to myself:

1) GIVE IT YOUR ALL!! You could be good at it! You'll NEVER know if you don't try.

2) The pain of regret ALWAYS hurts more than the pain of discipline.

3) Every summer, go to football/boy camps and work out. Stop caring how 'buff' you don't look and just work on getting better and stronger every day.

4) Stop caring what the other kids/girls may think of you. The moment you stop worrying about that is the moment you get any girl you want.
