If you could send a letter to yourself in the PAST, what would it say?

If you could send a letter to yourself in the past, what would it say and how long ago would it be?

I'd send this to myself at age 19.

"Hello, this is you at 45. Listen, you don't know j*ck yet, you wouldn't listen to anyone but me, so here it is.

1. Do not get married before you are 29. To anyone. For any reason. At all. Live with as many as you'd like, but do not marry any of them.
2. Get in shape, stay in shape, now; see #1, it will help
3. Quit smoking. It will kill your mother early if she does not stop.
4. Break up with Marilyn; she's sleeping with Greg
5. Travel while you're young
6. Forget about fear; go for it
7. When they knock on the door in the dorm, it is an RA, don't open it
8. Have fun, stay safe, that's all there is
9. Nobody is talking about you behind your back; they simply don't care, get over it, move on
10. Your boss right now is an a*shole. He's not normal.
EDIT: 11. The winning PA lotto number on 2 Jan 2000 will be xxxxxxxxxx

Signed,
You

Wow thats an interesting question!
1.Pay more attention in school...
2.Do not marry young...
3.Travel while your young enough...
4.Give up the smoking and chew...
5.I could go on but you probably wont listen to me (I know how stubborn you are)but if you will take but one piece of advice.Don't give up the Photography thing,you will only get back into it later in life.Think of the possibilities...

just a week would be good: the numbers for this weeks lotto are ......

Note to self. Do not come, nothing here worth seeing.

Buy Google stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, and go back to school as soon as you get out of High School. Don't wait eight years.

I'd go back top to March 1986 and say:
"Listen dickweed, when Randy comes to you and says he has an in to pick up some IPO stock for 10k, listen to him. Don't spend the 10k on a new car, buy the IPO"

Unfortunately my answer at the time was:
"What IPO?" to which Randy answered "Some little company called Microsoft." Again, I unfortunately answered, "you got to be kidding, isn't that the company that's marketing that turn DOS? Get real."

I was such an idiot.

Bah! Buy Hansen's Natural on April 12th 1996 and sell it October 26, 2007

Every dollar you put in will net you $766.79

Wow, interesting question.

1. Listen to your mother. You will realize when you get to your 40's, she's a lot smarter than you think now.
2. Quit worrying about what everybody else is thinking. They probably aren't thinking about you at all.
3. Keep in touch with your friends. It's really hard to find them after 30 years.
4. Don't start smoking!
5. Put money in your company's 401K plan from day 1... and leave it there!

shut up and go to school

I don't regret much that I've done BUT

Aged 17/18

You know what though I bet he's still more embarrassed about landing on his arse than I am about getting beat like a dog.

Maybe not actually.

It would say:

(1) Don't sell the XT
(2) Don't buy the 30D
(3) Don't sell the STi
(4) and don't spend anymore money on american women!

^^ WELL PUT!

The most spoiled on the planet, without any doubt.
