    In the 60s this was very good advice, even in the 70s.

    1. To cut that Joe Elliot mullett. . It really isnt that cool. I cut it at 21

    2. No need to baby the Irocs, they will not be worth squat in 25 years. I sold my 69 Camaro in 92 and bought a truck and boat.

    3. Do not marry the new hostess at the restaurant you cook at.
    I married the hostess from the old Moonraker restaurant in 1989 when I was 21...........

    Sooooo. All good advice here!

    1. Learn to laugh at yourself and with others.
    2. Forgive... even if it is hard. This includes forgiving yourself.
    3. Admit when you're wrong, and make it right.
    4. Work harder than the other guy even if you get paid the same (or less).
    5. Take chances. Don't look back when you're 40 wishing you had done what you wanted.
    6. Find someone who appreciates and values you. Looks fade. People get fat.
    7. Don't settle. Always be improving yourself and others around you.
    8. Treasure every day you have with the ones that you love.
    9. Accept yourself as God made you. Recognize your own beauty.
    10. You will never waste any time you spend getting to know Jesus better.

    I would also learn to play guitar, I mean like seriously good. Women love guitar players. Fat, ugly, doesn’t matter, if you can rock the axe, you’re in!

    1. Hike the Appalachian Trail during the summer of 1985. (Just got off six years of Active Duty in March. Started working full time in the Reserves in Oct).

    2. Figure out a way to meet the beautiful woman who would become my wife, a couple of years sooner.

    3. Bought a nicer first house. (Not a dumpy fixer-upper that I spent all my time and energy working on.)

    4. Have more confidence in myself.

    5. Remind myself that I am a better person when I am in a relationship with God.

    6. Never would have taken that first drink of Coke or Mt Dew. ( And saved a lot of $$$ in dental bills)

    Use the trade that my father and family passed onto me instead of wasting a year and $$$ in College to figure out it just wasn't for me.
    Don't go to College would be pretty bad advice for high school grads though :):
    Oh yeah and don't do the Copenhagen, you'll be hopelessly addicted.

    Keep on keeping on.. Even tho I left the girl freshman year that is my wife today of 9 years. Plus all the hardships I endured getting arrested, partying doing drugs I would NOT change a thing cause it made me the proud clean record drug free father I am today.

    "You're not stupid, you're INTJ with a little ass burger aggravating the I. These girls (list) are the good ones, these (list) are the bad ones. Don't get too close to any of them, you'll understand later and find the right one. Buy these stocks (list). Look up the Hughes Amendment and get you an M16 next year. Now go get a bottle of Jack and quit being so stuck up. (smack on the back of the head)"

    Dont be picky, if shes offering, hit it. Repeat. Get those numbers up kid.
    Dont be scared of your parents or their cult. Fully enjoy your high school years.
    Zig instead of zagging.
    Have a great life!
