re: What advice would give a younger person today

All women are whores

1) investing now advice is the best
2) Stay away from tobacco but young kids mostly aren’t gonna listen to that
3) As far as with women, don’t be that weird guy that tries to be a dick to all the girls to get them to like him. We always made fun of our friends who tried way too hard with that. Their percentages weren’t any better than those of us who just acted ourselves. Also being a dick takes too much work, just chill (and that’s for with women and also everyday life)
4) Get a job you’ll like if possible. The fire dept I’m at has several guys who were engineers, IT, business or finance majors etc who went to their field and said frick it, I wanna do something I enjoy even for a big pay cut. We even have a former lawyer and also a CRNA
5) Answering your phone while you are talking to someone is a beta move and only preteen girls should do that

Pursue your goals people deem "unrealistic" no matter what.

You may actually make it but if not you won't be like these other people especially naysayers who grow bitter as they get older; mainly because of shoulda, woulda, coulda.

They realize they gave up on some dream they probably could've reached if they were more determined but now are at an age where they are running out of time.
