What would you tell your high school self?

DON'T sell the 1963 Chevy II Nova SS convertible and buy 1972 Vega GT. Aarghh! What was I thinking! Ok so the Chevy had some rust -nothing a little bondo wouldn't fix. But the Vega? It melted away with rust.

I was so bummed I joined the Army - "be all you could be". Quit that gig after 26 years. Married the prettiest girl - been over 30 years with her..

Having been deeply involved in buying/selling cars/bikes etc from a very young age there are more than a few I seriously regret letting go. Especially for the reasons involved.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

I met him....Shook his hand.....

All the things I'd say is exactly because I experienced them and learned. Why should I deprive myself that opportunity to fail and learn?


If I warned myself about Jane, then I'd just make a similar mistake with Jessica.

If I gave myself stock tips, then I'd turn myself into a rich *******.

If I told myself do this and do that... well, that nothing new, HS Jetta already has lots of people giving him good advice.



The best advice was already given to me in a book I received the day I was baptized (1st grade)... and I still ignore too much of that.

Over 6500 people die everyday in the US on average...you could be one of them. You are not guaranteed one more day on this earth. Live today like tomorrow you may have to answer for how you were living yesterday.

Go live in a foreign country, or several for a couple of years. Obviously safe and by choice would be preferable.
