3 Words To Your 17 Year Old Self

Saw this on Twitter today. It was 15 but I decided to change it to 17. :slight_smile:

You get only 3 words per statement or thought. Not 1 or 2, must be 3.

I’ll go first:

Pursue health care.

(while I landed in health care for much of career it is more education focussed than medically focussed - I love the medical side)

My social advice to myself:

Don’t be afraid.

(my parents were pretty strict and I was afraid to do much socially for fear of their disapproval.)

“Save your money!”

“Bet on yourself”

“Come out already.”

“GO TO COLLEGE!”

Have a plan.

Taking 6 years to get a 4-year degree because you change your major from fine art to Business Administration (Marketing) is not the best strategy. Going to 3 different schools to figure this out is testing the patience of the most loving parents. Paying loans for the 1st school long after you’ve graduated from the 3rd is particularly galling.

Start running NOW!

Not that school!

Five two nine

“Get good grades!”

“you go girl!”

absolute first thing that popped into my head

Travel the world!

Golf with dad

Love your self

Love, not money

Go For It!

These are very good. I need to hear some of them at age 60. :slight_smile:

Don’t second-guess yourself.

Don’t create regrets.

I like it. Technically five words though. Lol.

OP - ruling on conjunctions and hyphens?

??‍♂️??
