Answer 3

When I was young and free and my

imagination had no limits,

I dreamed of changing the world.

As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the

world would not change, so I shortened my sights

somewhat and decided to change only my country.

But it too, seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years, in one

last desperate attempt, I settled for changing

only my family, those closest to me;

but alas, they would have none of it.

And now as I lie on my death bed, I suddenly

realize: If only I had changed myself first,

then by example I would have changed my family.

From their inspiration and encouragement,

I would then have been able to better my country

and, who knows, I may have even

changed the world.

These words are inscribed on the tomb of an Anglican bishop in Westminster Abby (1100 A.D.).

Answer 4

get equity behind you as fast as possible.

Shares, a house etc

Money isn't everything.

It's comfortable everything

Keep intimate relationships loose, choose wiser for a life partner later, with more experience and smarts in you both.

Do some traveling, the world is so much better than t.v.

Try and visit a developing or third world country, it's a worthwhile and valuable experience

Answer 5

Life is an energy machine that replicates.

Nature is the competition between these machines.

Love is considering the self interest of another as though it were your own.

Money is energy.  Love is what you do with the energy.

Either alone is pointless.

Don't get caught up in the BS.  Life is about forming a good partnership and having a family.   Choose wisely, treat kindly.

Answer 6

My first advice to you is if you plan to go to school to complete a degree.. stay focused and get it done as quickly as possible. Time flies by really fast. You want to make sure you have enough time to get an education, get married, and have kids. Don't drag any of these steps out too long it delays the other parts from happening.

Secondly, never second guess yourself. Your gut will tell you if someone is right and if someone is trustworthy or lying and if you love someone.

Take care of your teeth and keep yourself in good physical health. You will be surprised at how many men have back problems in their late twenties and later on. Keep your core strong and you will look youthful and strong in older age.

Also, be true to yourself and you will never have regrets.

Answer 7

Trust your intuition.

Try to treat others well.

Listen to others, learn from others, but remember that you have to live with your choices and the people who give you their advise do not have to live with your choices.

If you marry think about it carefully. Talk with your partner about your expectations and goals, beforehand. Learn to understand the other person and do not push down your gut feelings.

Whatever you do in your life remember that the goal does not justify the means. Whatever you do, do not harm anybody with  your deeds or words.

Answer 8

have your job or career planned out before graduating college. make sure you're heading for some specific job and you know what conditions you must satisfy to get it. Even if not going to school find something you are interested in and learn what experinces and skills you will need to get the better job. keep a long term interest in mind when applying for jobs.

don't burn your bridges, don't end relationships or jobs in a sudden huff, where you are not able to cross back.

I don't know you or your situation but don't be afraid to get married (i'm not married so who knows). Love is a young mans game as you get older it's more complicated.

for alls sake stay away from credit. any credit. it's a death trap. It's a sin in the bible. You don't need to be paying needless interest on unecessary stuff. Save your money and buy larger things in cash. ten dollars a week adds up.

Everyone has thier own experience of it. as some one said trust no one. what might be right for you may not be right for some.

Try to make decisions you can live with, don't do drugs, don't smoke. always respect the women, you never know when you'll want them back.

Learn a 2nd language.
