Imparting Wisdom... to Yourself

This is an entry that I'm hoping gets a lot of responses. If you're reading this from my Facebook page, come over to my barely evolved cavemen blog and leave your response (anonymously if you like) to this question:

What would you say to your 16-year-old-self if you could go back and impart some wisdom, or offer a warning, or give some advice... to you?

Advice I'd give my 16 y/o self:
1) I'd give myself the winning lottery for that year, and at 5 year intervals, so that I'd be constantly rich.
2) Lose my virginity at 17 y/o to the girl you had a crush on.
3) Choose banking/investment banking, something that makes more money over working too hard like a lawyer or doctor.
4) Travel the world at an earlier age, to see the world and gain more overseas experience.
5) Be sure to have at least slept with a girl in every country you visit!
6) Stop drinking so much alcohol!
7) Exercise.
8) Get married before 30 y/o!
9) Eliminate all your enemies.
10) Always stay in touch with friends and family.

Your mother loves you even though you guys are about to have the fallout of the century. Be good to her! And, when your dad looks at you that way as you leave the house, yes...you are not wearing enough clothes!!!!
