If you could go back and talk to your 18-year-old self, what would you say?
I think I’d say: “Stop worrying so much about what people think. Take more chances — it’s okay to fail.”
It’s wild how much you learn with time. So now I’m wondering…
What advice would you give your younger self if you had the chance?

I would tell my 18 year old self, "You're much too young to get married!" But that was 59 years ago, so it worked out, lol.

It's hard to pick one thing to say about that question...but if I had it to do over again, I would say ''SLOW DOWN!'' You don't have to do everything so fast!

i would tell myself never to sell out.
Never to be a sneaky poor excuse of a man.
Always to be .brave in the face of adversity.
Not to envy anyone, or covet what anyone else has
To be honest
And to respect those who deserve.to be respected
Finally
I would say
" You will meet a fine woman in about 20 years, don't blow it"

So many choices and only pick one thing?
Don't try to save people who want to drown.
