    What would you tell your 16yo self?

    Inspired by a topic on Ch5 The Wright Stuff, what would you write if you could pen a letter to your 16 year old self?

    Mine would be:

    Don't fall in love too easily.
    Don't buy that motorbike.
    Sail boats more.

      Good topic -

      Don't fall in love too easily - listen to your Dad.
      Travel more.
      Don't get so stressed.

          Avoid IT.

          And if that fails, go contracting earlier.

          Save more money.

          And it doesn't really make you go blind.

            Get a second passport

            Don't leave the body under the patio - who would have known 'decking' would be so popular?

              Learn a music instrument.

              Help others when you can, but don't expect much back in return

              On the other hand always do your best for your family

              Don't get screwed by IT

              Save at least 20% of your net pay for a rainy day - you're going to need every pneny at some point.

              Look after your teeth

              Don't be bothered by brush-offs by local chav lasses. Learn languages and explore the wonderful world of foreign totty.

              Avoid joining internet forums and talkboards.

              Never play cards with a guy called Moe.

                Pursue that offer of training as a commercial diver and do Oceanography as your degree.

                Buy that boat - sail more.

                  Despite what you think now, you dont have all the time in the world.
                  You only get one chance at a lot of the opportunities that come along so take each and every one.
                  And you will be right about that guy in the albion, he does intend to do it, so get the ead in first

                    Don't do IT, do something like law instead.
                    Don't smoke.

                    Wouldn't change anything else.
