What Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self? by majorbravo: 2:39pm On May 18, 2018
This post is for Mature folks.

We've all had life's experiences. Most importantly, we have gained knowledge from them. However, Wisdom is what you can do today but couldn't do before. It's what you would do before but never would now.

So, the question is, If you could travel back through time to advice your younger self about life, what would you say?
Re: What Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self? by majorbravo: 2:44pm On May 18, 2018
To set the ball rolling, I'll say:

Be true to yourself, there has never been and there would never be another you. There is nothing special about you if you are like everyone else. Be true and take a stand for everything you represent.

to buy $1000 worth of BITCOIN by 2010 and be serious with God.

I would have told him to buy bitcoin and sell it in 2017 when its at 10,000$.

Really I have a lot to tell him, I would have told him dude, life isn't black and white but grey, all those things you hold dear in life are lies, honest people suffer so be the bad guy, I would tell him to take advantage of people , I would tell him that being an adult sucks and the bad people ALWAYS win so join them.

Adulthood is a trap. Don't be in a hurry to grow. Relax and enjoy your youth because a time will come you will wish those days back.

Don't ever procrastinate. And don't over think every action. Take a step immediately an idea comes. Better to try and fail.

Visions without actions remain mere dreams, so move and believe in your ability and God will reward your effort.

Learn how to produce music not just rap .

There is no the " one " when it comes to relationships .

AC Milan will eventually fall and never get themselves back to the heights of Europe .

Respect your elder brother you don't know the pressure and the sacrifices he will make to pay your law school fees .

When you leave a relationship never go back .

Dream girls aren't any better than real girls .

Stay happy ...stop being moody all the time .

Every dog has it's day .

Swallow the red pill as soon as possible .

Don't use your real name on Nairaland .

Learn how to DJ . Learn how to cut hair .

Listen to the voice in your head that says don't go to that place .


Your mum is right all these your friends will go their separate ways after high school .

Have more sex . Like way more sex .

Brush your teeth and be yourself.

Wow!! Did I just read this? Can't believe any lady can reason this smart, you just highlighted 70% of what my advice to my younger self will be.

From your post you strike me as a deep thinker, a philosopher and an ambitious person. Kudos.

Be a go getter

Don't ever displease yourself to please others but you can make sacrifice sometimes for the happiness of others.

Do don't despise your little beginging

Marriage does not define you as a woman, don't be in a mad rush to get married. Build yourself, be a solution solver and watch men tremble and worship the very ground you step on

When in relationship don't be a liability to your partner, this will bring self worth

Don't go from church to church seeking to hear the voice of God through mere mortal like you probably you might be better than them, pls go to room and seek the face of God ,there you shall find

Don't discuss people, discuss ideas and innovations

Talk less and listen more

Associate with people of impeccable character and make friends with your social unequal and by that i mean,those that have higher IQ than yourself


Lastly death can come anytime and you are not prone to death so be happy and love yourself
