Things Your Younger Self Will Not Tell You

Stay in touch with your inner self: Important Life Lessons I Learned Too Late in Life

Stop wasting your time with the wrong people, rather than spending the time to please them work on your shortcomings. A few years later you will realize that they were not worth your time.
