When I was 20 people gave me all kinds of great advice. I wish I had understood how important it was to actually listen to it and act upon it. In did all right in life, but I think I could be in an even better place if I had worked harder and been more focused when I was younger. I certainly should have listened when people told me to take care of my body. Of course, I was indestructible at the time, but here I am at just 46 a type 2 diabetic, with bad teeth and a constant ringing in my ears. Just an ounce of prevention really is a pound of cure. Also, tell the people in your life that you love them and either forgive or track down and confront your bullies - especially if you are like me and tend to stew about things like that...
