        1. Don't buy that Fender Stratocaster, buy a Fender Jazz Bass instead. The role of the bass player better suits your personality.

        2. If a young women takes you back to her room you are in there. Don't doubt yourself.

        3. You are a clever sod who can do acceptably academically without trying. That is not good enough, you should try harder. This will matter when you are in your twenties.

        4. If you are going to insist on spending your whole time at university hanging out in the Student Union Bar, and you probably will, then realise that you will have to make a living from the people skills you learn there, not the degree that you are going to do unexceptionally at.

          Become a contractors as soon as you get into PCs. No one else knew any more than you did, they were all making it up.

          Buy more houses in your twenties. retire in your forties.

          Buy more shares at the bottom.

          Spend more time with your kids.

          Don't smoke, spend more time getting fit.

          Date more Blondes, french & Swiss girls when you were free. Still marry the missus.
          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
