    Educate yourself better. Don't take life so seriously. Stay away from alcohol.

    Mine would be boring, but around equity investing and probably get into property investing young, and have more fun live for today a bit more, have more holidays.

    Save money, don’t touch alcohol, your body is the most important thing you’ll ever own.

    Loads of things, but i'd probably tell myself to Value myself more, don't waste time on people who don't care about you, and look after and treasure those that do. Simple

    I'd echo those sentiments, particularly about valuing yourself.

    Work at school and Uni, to get an education - you will always have it. Travel - do it cheaply if you have to, but go. There's no rush to marry anyone. Save money if you can. Don't smoke, and limit your drinking. Be nice, but don't take any shit. Keep in touch with your family and friends. Listen to advice, but try to make your own decisions. Life can end up being a series of missed opportunities, if you let it - so pay attention.

    1. Value time, family & friends above wealth, ambition and prosperity.
    2. Never assume you'll get another chance to put something right.
    3. Fame, likes, followers & popularity won't ultimately satisfy, find out what does.
    4. Unless you can see string attached to your head, arms, hands & legs, make your OWN choices.
    5. Only keep friends who really want to spend time with you, even in those times when you are laid up and completely useless to them.
    6. Journal everything your older relatives tell you about family life when they were younger, and ask them for the other details you'd like to know while they can still remember; maybe shoot a short video when they tell you a story.
    7. Aim to mainly watch TV that makes you a more interesting, informed and useful person than you were prior to watching it.
    8. Read at least one book a month.
    9. In case someone asks you - find out why you believe what you believe on the purpose of life, the origin of life and ultimate destiny.
    10. Remember that the books of Wisdom (called 'Proverbs') were written by Solomon and have 31 chapters, so there will always be an appropraite chapter to read - read it daily and apply it's wisdom to your life.

    Send the forms off for your apprenticeship and don't go on the piss down the park all summer holidays and end up earning the same in full time factory job as you would have had 2 years later in your third year of the apprenticeship...
