Well guys, I hit 50 years old this year.
I have had good years and not good years. But if I had the opportunity to go back and talk to 20 year old me, and have 20 year old me listen, this is what I would say:
-Figure out early what is important; you cannot do this early enough
-Don’t spend so much money on liquor. I could have bought a brand new SUV by now
-Pick a few things and do them well and stick with them, quit chasing random crap
-Select a career you love regardless of the money, cause you never know when you will be kicked to the curb, unless you want to be self-employed.
-You treat people like crap, you will get treated like crap. Expect it, and no cryin
-Eat right.
-What’s outside (aesthetic) is important, but what’s more important is who you are inside (no whiteknight, just reality, deal with it)
-Insecure people always have to have someone/something else to blame. Don’t be that guy.
(More later, and BTW no amount of rage on your part will change the validity of my words):

Cheers, mate. Appreciate you passing on the advice. I know I'm still young, but I always wish I could go back with what I know now and do it all over. Trying my best to stop making mistakes for the future.

Happy 50th for this year OP, and thanks for the advice!How dare you!
Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

who knew...I always thought DarkNinja and CowboyBiker were the oldest guys on here
solid advice though, definitely agree with it"So there I am sitting in the waiting area of the hair salon with my niece and Keanu Reeves walks in. I was nervous as ****, but too scared to say anything to him. Then my niece started crying, and I’m trying to quiet her down because I don't want to bother him. Pretty soon he walks over and asks what's wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry. He put down his magazine, picked up my niece, and lifted up his shirt, and breastfed her right there in the salon. Chill guy, really nice about it."

Just me but, you will find that one that you love and she loves you back. But its not going to be found in endless parties or clubbing or going from one empty sex encounter to the next. You guys are going to call me old fashioned, but I have been married once, to the same woman for 25 years, and we still love each other, respect each other and like each other.Originally Posted by Matlab

Cause that's a dead end that leads to emptiness in the long run; you find out what a solid fam is worth when you have to face testicular cancer and beat it.Originally Posted by joonsang
