Stolen from
wordweaverlynn: You, gentle reader, have been given the opportunity to go back in time ten (10) years and tell yourself three (3) things.
What are they?
My answers:
1. Do not get involved with anyone you think needs your help.
2. Sell BRCM. Even if it looks like it's on a rocket to the moon, sell every last share of it as soon as you can.
3. Do all the hiking, running, and backpacking you can possibly stand. Make yourself sick of it. All those grand dreams of hiking the Canyon again, climbing Whitney, running a marathon, and doing Half Dome once every summer -- all those goals of learning yoga some day and going back to aikido -- do every last one of them before age 35 because you will never have another chance.
wordweaverlynn's addition: What are the three words of advice you have for yourself for the next ten years?
1. Keep your long-term goals in mind.
2. Stop caring what others think of you. It's gotten you nowhere so far.
3. Learn how to extricate yourself gracefully from rude people in social settings. It's more pleasant to have this skill than not.
