If you could travel back in time, say half you life, and give your younger self advice, but your younger self would not reconise you, no matter what you said or did.

What would you tell yourself? and would your younger self listen to you?

Anyone see Back to the Future? Part 2? Well... first I need an almanach [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I dunno... tell me some advice on things about to happen, who to hang out with, who will do this or that... Who to flirt with, who not to [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Remember your still the same age, and your younger self does not know who you are, will never know who you are.

I would approach my younger self and tell him how to study.

Honestly?

Tell myself to tell my dad to divorce my mother asap.

Tell myself that girls are more important than computers [img]smile.gif[/img]


And like shamrock, tell myself that studying acctually pays off later in life.

Never ever ever give up. And religious stuff not allowed on IW.

I would give my younger self an almanach that's all. Cause I know my younger self would never trust a stranger talking strange things to him.

Since my younger self wouldn't have listened anyways, I think I'd just say not to sweat the small stuff.

Never go back for your purse.

I would hand my younger self a concise bullet-point memo explaining the internet, so I could create it and be rich. I'd also include a footnote that I should watch out for that scam artist Billy Gates.

I would probably tell myself that computers are more important then girls :D

I would probably give myself a list of shares to invest in.

keep doing what your doing :D .

As I don't remember seeing a strange stranger spouting dire warnings, I do not travel back in time. If I do, the person I meet there is not me, but some other me. And therefore, I have no reason to give him good advice. I'd propably kill him for the sake of irony. Or at least punch him.

If I could go back in time and tell my younger self something I would probably tell them don't ever let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do.

I'd ask if I could borrow 10 bucks.

i would prolly just sit and chat. no advice. life is not easy, but i regret nothing and would not want anything to change.

After I read this question I had a strange memory. I remember a guy who visited me in the past and told me about a thing called computer and that I will read a question about time travel in a thing called Ironworks Forum. I remember that I laughed at him but now I'm shocked. Because I didn't believe him I threw away the almanach he gave me. :D .

hmmm... I'd repeat the advice I got when I was younger, little weird things that are making sense as I go along..

Stuff like "always idiot check", which I do when crossing the street, you never know when someone's going to come flying down a one way system the wrong way, and it's saved my neck more than once.

and "Leap before you look", which when you think about it is realy bad advice for most things, but it's the best advice I've ever had.

I'd tell little Johnny to stay away as far as possible from that one particular blonde he'll bump into when he's 26, or at least get a rubber.

I wonder what BabyJohnny looks like... ;)

I'd probably tell myself to start playing tennis NOW! So much fun! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'd tell myself to keep working out despite being only in 5th grade. It'd pay off eventually. Or I'd go back in time a few weeks ago and tell myself NOT to tackle the guy I fought, but run up and kick him in the bojangles.

I would telll myself that I should kick that bird! That, and quit trying to help, and continue being the selfish @*%^ that I was. ;)
