And somehow be 18-21 again

What you do differently?

I'm always hearing people significantly older then me mention how if they knew then at a younger age, what they did now. They could of made there lives so much better, and accomplished a lot more.



Examples.

When I was in the Army I had a NCO who was about 35, and he used to always say he wishes he could be 18 again, because by now he would of been a beast.

I just read a post from Jill saying how if she was in a similar situation as the OP. She would try to save money to pay rent for a year, and then figure out her next plan of action. ( I apologize if I did not hit what you were trying to say exactly)


I'm 20, and I'm just searching for some of that wisdom that I see all over this forum.

Experience is the best knowledge in my opinion, I just wish to improve myself through real world examples of what, and what not to do.
I can't think of a better place then here to ask this question.

Your advice/suggestions/story's are EXTREMELY appreciated here.

Thank you,
