What would you tell your 16 year old self?

[Verge]

Hello fellow Fastlaners!
16 year old here, who is trying his absolute best to work out with all of MJ's suggestions in TMF . But if you guys could give any suggestions, book recommendations, wise words, etc etc, what would you tell your former 16 year old self?
Thanks guys!
