Posters 25 and up...Drop some lesson's you've learned about life for the younger NTer's

It's cool to take lessons and tips from other people, but at the end of the day search your own heart for your plan.

Every choice, no matter how small you think it is, will count later down the line.

Be consistent in your approach to whatever in life. Scattered energy and focus won't work out.

Don't front for the short term happiness.

Invest in yourself. Not even financially, invest in yourself to educate yourself about yourself. Read books, study your life patterns, whatever you gotta do to get to know your strengths and weaknesses as a human being.

You can have a team of friends, but never get caught up in BS. Always stay an individual and make your decisions based on how they will affect you in the longer run.

Just because a way of living works for somebody else, doesn't mean that it will for you. Once again, stay true to your heart and path in life.

Be an individual in all aspects of life. I think this might be the most important to me.
 
Think about financial responsibility early. Like, 18, 19. Forget starting at 23-25, you'll thank yourself later.

Don't wife the baddest, sexiest, best in bed...




Wife the most stable, honest, best in conversation.

Shoes are not everything.

Learn to save, try to put away 10% of your check.

Finish school, get a degree.

Enjoy life. Makes mistakes, but learn from them.

Travel.

Go to school. Don't waste your teens/early 20s just worrying about partying every day. When you see your friends/high school buddies graduating college and you're still working at the mall for minimum wage, it's gonna hit you. You'll then ask yourself what the %+*# did I do with my life in the last 5 years.
