Old guys: Pass on wisdom to the next Generation

[Amplifier]

Any general, or not general advice you have for the posters who are <25.

 

[MidasKnight]

Don't get fat ....

 

[EagleKeeper]

Think before you make a fool of yourself.

 

[BatmanNate]

25+ is not an old guy.

 

[Buck Naked]

a penny saved is worth two in the bush

Close you're mouths and listen more often, use condoms and drugs are bad. Oh and I forgot life sucks and it kills you in the end.

P.S. Respect you're elders they are wiser in the ways of life.

 

[olds]

No one can take your integrity from you. You have to give it away.

 

[ultimatebob]

Leasing a car is usually a bad idea. Unless you have a crystal ball and know exactly where you're gonna be 3 years from now, don't do it.

Oh, and don't be a fool. Wrap your tool.

If you're ever given the choice to choose between regular heaven and pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if not...mmmm boy.

Remember to use sunscreen.

Nowhere did I mention the English language.

Probably won't mean much coming from me, but it took me a couple decades to figure out it pays to be nice to people. Yeah, I know you're laughing your asses off, but I honestly go out of my way to learn people's names, chit-chat, and just generally be friendly. People respond and return in kind. Being nice all the time leaves a lot of pent up frustration, which has to be vented somewhere...

 

[Dirigible]

It's cliche, but I sure regret the things I didn't do more than the stupid stuff I did do. You're young, it's easier to do crazy stuff now. Do it before you got a mortgage, family, etc.

 

[cyclistca]

Buy low, sell high.

 

[FoBoT]

Don't take any wooden nickels.

I said that already, but it bears repeating Drunken flings can come and go, but child support lasts at least 18 years in most states

Best advice yet.

Doh

I checked, but rather quickly, so it seems I missed it.

 

[Lalakai]

you can delegate authority, but never responsibility.

you can never take enough pictures of your kids.

always do what's best for your friends, though they might not like it at the time.

make someone smile, each day
