Still, thanks for all the advice. If it doesn't get me to be a bit more up front and assertive, then at least I'll be at ease knowing something will happen eventually. |
I'm not old, I'm only 35, (Probably seems old to you!!) but I would give anything to be 17 again. I would give you this advice:
Learn to be confident and content with who you are. This makes you far more attractive than a shy nervous guy.
Study hard, a good education is never wasted.
Don't worry too much about girls, you'll get your fair share.
Start saving now!! It's easy to put money away when you're young and it will give you a head start when you need it.
Trust your gut instincts. They are probably right, and even if they are wrong, at least you have no-one to blame.
I really hope in 20 years time you'll think "Yep, that smug bastard was right."  It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
