What would you tell your young 20-year-old self?

What would you tell your young 20-year-old self?

I would tell my young 20-year-old self to make friends with politicians.

Most people are cynical about politicians, but politicians are powerful and can make things happen.

A family friend is running a thriving business, and he has made friends with many politicians.

He is Black, so the issue may or may not involve racism.

But the cops thought the business was so successful that he must be dealing drugs, so they had him under surveillance.

He called up an MP who was a friend, and she got the cops to stop the surveillance. (He was not dealing drugs.)

He also got a lucrative government job, although he is uneducated.

Robert Stanfield got all construction stopped in Ottawa because he did not want his dying wife to be disturbed.

Rene Levesque was drunk when he ran over and killed a man in a car accident. They did not charge him with being drunk or with the homicide. The fictionalized story at the time was that the victim often pretended to be hit by cars to get money.

Michael Bryant got away with a homicide (in my opinion).

Don’t stay in a relationship that doesn’t make you feel amazing. Never stop working out and exercising. Money isn’t everything.

Buy bitcoin, buy LOTS of telecom, especially Nortel in the late 90s and sell January 2000, buy Bre-X and sell when the owner got pushed out from the helicopter.

I would tell him to fuck off, while making a mental note to use Rogaine.

Life is less enjoyable if you are deprived of the actual experiences that tell you who you are and what you enjoy.

Really the same with money. Would you honestly want to give up all of your work and career experiences to have just watched Apple stock go up.

Even Steve Jobs derived his enjoyment from the development and success of the Apple products, and unfortunately the enjoyment of being a tyrant. He never sold much of the stock or spent much of the money.

Aside from the obvious, like what to invest in to make a killing, I'd tell myself to drop out of university and start working immediately. In hindsight, university was a waste of 5 years of my life, and hundreds of thousands of dollars once I factor in the expenses involved and the lost wages. Even more if I consider the opportunity cost. I could have got my business started so much sooner if I had skipped out entirely.

Far too many people are pushed towards university. You really should only be considering it if your degree is in something that requires a huge knowledge base (medicine, law, engineering, hard sciences, etc.). Most things can be learned on the job, and you can grow fast if you have motivation. Plus, you get paid for your training, rather than the opposite, and will have years of actual experience to put on your resume.

I actually liked this movie.

It plays with different changing the past scenarios and their effects on the present for one guy. Often with disastrous results.

There is no risk in the past, as they say about stocks.

I notice people say to buy Apple and Amazon. At the time, you would have also been contemplating buying Radio Shack and Sears, two more established companies than Apple and Amazon.

In reality, if you had kissed that cute girl in the elevator at your first job, you might have been misreading her signals and your first good job might have been your last good job, thanks to her complaint to H.R.

Things happened at the time for a reason. If there was a reason for caution at the time, it was likely a good reason, whether it was a pretty girl or a stock. And your older self needs to mention to you about ignoring stock declines and crashes when he visits your younger self.

And has anyone considered the fuck with people aspect if this was possible. Wouldn’t you like to disguise yourself as the older version of someone you don’t like at the present and visit his younger self, telling him to buy Radio Shack stock and French Kiss in the elevator that cute young law associate he just started at the law firm with, the one named Gloria (Allred).

Invest invest invest. If I knew how important it is to invest your money i would have started a lot earlier then I did. Don't worry about being in a relationship or finding "the perfect one" because that doesn't exist. Just fuck as much as you can even if that means hiring escorts. When you get older your body and cock just won't work the same as it did when you were 20 so enjoy your stamina and energy while it lasts

I am confused. If a person spends more money on dating and/or hiring escorts when he is younger and can get it up like 8 times a day (and I agree with that part of your argument), wouldn’t he by definition have less money to invest? Or does ghostly apparition get to visit your first boss and scare the boss into paying you more?
