What would you tell your 20-30 year old self?

[DiverEngineer]

I met a lot of retirees and got a lot of great perspectives during Invasion 2015 in Cozumel.

I want to ask the broader forum the same question

If you could go back in time and talk to your 20-30 year old self, what would you tell yourself?

 

[Wingy]

Be kind to yourself.

Quit your stupid job for a couple years, strap on a backpack, and just go! Hike the world. Climb mountains, be a rock climber, a dive master, a ski bum. Work on a boat. Live in Japan. Do anything except work in a freaking cubical year after year...

(Good post!)

Nothing. Part of the fun of life is not knowing what lies around the corner. I would not want to spoil the movie with any clues as to what is coming.

I would say "Live your own life and follow your own dreams.," "the worse thing that can happen is asking what if at 60", and "Never start out trying for second best" except I did the first one anyway, the second was part of my outlook from early on, and an older person told me the third at a crucial point in my life.

No matter how hot she is, it will hurt later.

1. Stay on the path you have chosen--you are going to love it, and when you are 70, you will only regret what you did not try.
2. Contrary to your belief, you are not bullet proof.

Don't marry that BEEP.

Don't marry that BEEP.

beep = really sweet adorable women who promised you the world?

 

[Steve_C]

Don't marry that BEEP.

You will never know if things would have been better or worse with a different choice. Move on and do not worry about the past

Stop "Being all you can be". You are wearing out your body.
