Pearl Ram Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Don’t under any circumstances start smoking “to keep in” with lads at school, you’ll move away from Derby when you are 18 an never see them again, so duck ‘em. Don’t spend 10 years “out to lunch” you will regret the time you wasted and the money spent. Get yourself a Rottweiler, you will get one when you’re 58, and wish you’d got one years ago.

Mostyn6 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I often think about this. My philosophies and outlook on life are a quantum leap from those of the people who surrounded me. I resent going to a rubbish school, I resent having alcoholic father, I resent having no real positive influence on me. Such is that I only began properly living when I got to 30. Before that I lived a nothingness life, in the pub, earning beer tokens, not having holidays or driving etc. I never knew people who spoke about holidays and sport etc. I've have loads of advice, but if you pin me to 1 per section, it'd be:- When you were starting senior school - don't be embarrassed to follow a talent. There's nothing "gay" about being musically talented or athletic, do not let those who don't have talent make you bury your own talent for fear of being ostracised. When you're an adult, most of those people you go to school with won't matter in your life. Then another piece when you turned 21 - try and secure a career that doesn't have a limited amount of growth, Don't go into something like caring, no matter how noble, it will never pay. What decisions you make career wise (and pensions/mortgages etc) will sort you out when you get to 40s. Then one final piece when you turn 40 - I'd like to think most people won't have many decisions that they need to make at 40. I would say, be as fit and active as you can, try and do something at least 4 times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Interesting,need to think about it. At 21 it would probably be to be who you want to be,not what everyone else wants you to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 But seriously - it is an interesting thread. Senior school: Relax. Try and be nice to everyone. Understand that everyone has crap they're going through. The cool kids, the unpopular kids, the bullys, the nerds... they're all the same really. Dont discriminate - be yourself with everyone and be nice to everyone. Dont bother with trying to be cool, especially at someone else's expense. You'll regret it forever. Be yourself, be kind, chill. 21: Do exactly what you did anyway but without worrying about it, you'll never regret any of the time you spend travelling. Probably don't take quite so many drugs though. 40: Well I'm only 41 so I probably don't have enough retrospect but... spend every minute you can with your kids. Take them to the beach, bike rides, water parks... you'll never regret a single one of those minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag zig Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This is a good one Alpha. Senior school don’t limit your ambitions or constrain your friendships. Be happy. 21 the world is your oyster, see it, explore it, experience it in as many ways possible before finding your own family. Think positive. 40 live life to the full, you’ve possibly seen a few your age “disappear”, you never know what’s around the corner, so make the most of every day, especially time with kids or family. Try and be happy and positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm only young, but I do already miss the days of being at school without a care in the world. Then another piece when you turned 21 I turn 21 in 10 months, so I can't really contribute to this. However, hopefully, my new year's resolutions of being a better friend and slightly less of a gobshite (especially after a drink) will have come to fruition by then. Then one final piece when you turn 40. Duck knows. Hopefully I'll be married with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 When you were starting senior school - Take it more seriously, there is more to school that football and girls Then another piece when you turned 21 - Contrary to the above, don't be too serious, don't assume that every relationship is the 'one', and don't be too shy to notice and act upon the signals the fit older girl in the office was giving off so that when you reach 40 you don't look back and say in a Chandler way 'Could she have been any more obvious'. Then one final piece when you turn 40. - Tough one , i might have something for this when im older....probably be along the lines of make sure you spend more time with family, especially parents. Pretty sure despite the fact i do try and i will look back one day and wish i had done even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 40 for 6 years but I'm trying hard to spend quality time with my children. I already have regrets about not always enjoying them when they were younger. Especially my 5 year old. She was a handful and I definitely should have done a lot differently. The regret is a burden now but just trying to make it up to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
