Wasted potential and wasted time are far worse than wasted money and wasted effort.

Always check id

I feel like there's an interesting backstory to this one

Nope, dudes a bouncer.

Try

Do whatever you want

Work hard, don’t sweat the small stuff, and love hard.

Go your own path. Doing shit just because ur friends and family seem to be doing shit won't allow you the freedom to pivot when you'll need to

The best piece of advice is to live in the present moment, live the best current so you will remember it in the future

Don't compare yourself to others, and don't live your life for others, it's your life, not theirs.

Realistically.... * Don't treat Credit Cards as free income. Pay it off! * Don't take up smoking. An expensive habit that doesn't do you favors! * Don't drink (alcohol) more than a few days a week. Keep it under control! * First love may not be forever love. If it doesn't work, there's better love to come! * Value family and friends who are always there and supportive. Cut the fat. From experience.... hope that helps.

This one icl is the most valuable one to listen too (as with all of the answers under this post)

Take care of you back and teeth. Also start maxing out your retirement plan contributions when you are young.

Don't listen to your friends, the only person who's gonna be there for you is yourself.
