I have an old HN thread bookmarked, "Ask YC: What would you tell your younger self?"[1]. I read it over a few times a year and I think that on some level, it has affected my perspective. The thing is, the advice given is nothing new, especially the message of "do what you love".

- wallflower 17y agoThanks for that Ask YC link. Since I had to upvote it, I must have missed it! Feeling wistful because it's EOY and nearly EOD. There have been some wise Metafilter threads. "My son is graduating from high school in a week. I want to make him a Best of Ask Metafilter book with all the best advice from the hive mind." http://ask.metafilter.com/122353/Whats-the-Best-Thing-Youve-Ever-Seen-Here http://ask.metafilter.com/122353/Whats-the-Best-Thing-Youve-... http://ask.metafilter.com/27160/What-would-you-tell-20yearold-you http://ask.metafilter.com/27160/What-would-you-tell-20yearol... I sometimes think we old people (old as in relative) like to give advice because we have regrets or want to pay-it-forward or just want to get on our soapbox?
