Remember the program Quantum Leap? Well, if you could quantum leap into yourself at an earlier time in your life with all the knowledge and experience of life you have now intact, what age would you go to and what would you do differently in your life? I do not want answers pertaining to making money directly by your knowledge of the future by the way.
I would probably have stayed on at school and gone to university straight away - instead of doing a distance learning degree while looking after a job and a family at the same time - but if I could have spoken to me from those days - I would not have listened
I would go back to when I was seventeen to just before my dad died and tell my self to spend more time with him over the next couple of months. Then I would tell myself to go travelling for a year before university, then tell myself to NEVER get a credit card, student or graduate loan.
Right now i'd go back 5 years to the day I gave myself whip lash and make sure that cushion was actually behind my head....but thats only cos its really playing up today!
I would go back to my final year at University, and tell myself not to trust someone whom I thought was a very good, kind and interesting friend, but who turned out to be a vicious, selfish, unstable, (lots of other negative adjectives) and thoroughly nasty person.
