What would you tell your fifteen yet old self in a letter?

Buy stock in Amazon and Apple and bitcoin. Kiss Kathy and stay clear of Martha. Forget NROTC and just focus on finance. Dad doesn't have long and mom will need bypass. Relax.

Give up booze NOW

@OldBrit It's never too late to do the right thing. 🌷

OldBrit · 61-69, M

@helenS just regret all the wasted years.

helenS · 36-40, F

@OldBrit Look, I don't know much about you, but those things I know tell me that all those years were not simply wasted.

OldBrit · 61-69, M

@helenS we have a different perspective perhaps... I feel I lost and wasted so much in those years and the ramifications live on today for me

@OldBrit All I know is your son is pursuing a successful career in science, indicating not everything you've ever done was wrong.

OldBrit · 61-69, M

@helenS totally his achievement not mine. As someone who never got to university (other than an employee) I can't take any credit for his achievement

@OldBrit I'm not in a position to advise but I think you might want to work on your self-confidence a wee bit more. You are a fine man. 🌷

@helenS you only see a small snippet of me, like anyone else.

I have a generally very low opinion of myself - I don't believe it is unjustified
