I'd say "Gaz.. that one you knocked back is just one more root that you'll never notch up".. hehe. I can look back now at all the wasted opportunities... people I should have just shagged but didn't... what a waste... why didnt I simply spread the love. How easy is it to compliment someone! All those missed opportunities... what a crime. hehe Hugs Stalky

I was under the impression 21yo's knew it all! I am pretty sure i thought i did, then when i turned 30 i realised hmm i really didn't know Jack Rabbit!But hey at 30 i reckon i have it sorted!But then when i turned 40, well ffs, still don't know it all!Hmm not 50 yet, but reckon i am really stating to get a feel for life!Ask me again, in a couple of years when i am 50.All i can tell you is,1/ Maintain a healthy level of Scepticism about everything .2/ Even when you think you know the answer your probably wrong!3/ Newspapers are not a reliable source of information. Or don't believe everything you read/see!4/ Look after your teeth!5/ Us oldies don't have all the answers either! but we may have learnt a few more of lifes little lessons!6/ If it sounds to good to be true....you can bet your sweet arse its a con job! Walk away!7/ Allways lend a helping hand for those worse off than you, one day you may need help to!8/ People are more important than material possesions, but choose your friends wisely!9/ Never be afraid to admit you are wrong.10/ Never be afraid to ask questions, it is better to look stoopid for 2 min than make a big mistake later!...took me a long time to learn that one!Cheers Nev.......

Thats for us oldies to reflect upon and say..'geez..I wish id listened to my mother/aunt/father/mate/forum buddies at the time' Invest in your commonsense and take on board that life happens regardless of plans, processes and the latest best seller! Oh and watch out for dirty old men....they dont call em that for nothing....lol

What Nev said! Plus don't do things or make decisions based on what you think your family would want, your friends would want or what you think is the social norm. Make the choice because it is right for you. Your family and friends will either love you anyway or will learn to live with it. And if not - fuk em it's your life.

I'd suggest you could get very similar advice to that received here by simply asking some of the homeless looking guys and girls you see at the local TAB, you know the sorts - drinking pots of Carlton Draught and staring holes in the ceiling. My only advice would be that you should get that rash checked out.... it could be an allergic reaction to lawn fertiliser, or imbedded dung beetle larvae. Here's hoping your allergic.! JG PS - Oh what advice would I give MYself at 21. Probably the same in hindsight.

Be prepared to fail more often. Smile more. Talk more to people you don't know. Talk more to the people you think you know. Do you really understand the people you are close to: what are their real passions in life; what is important to them; what advice would they give their 21 year old self?) Do something that frightens you every day - or week if you are chicken. Accept that people are more likely to act out of stupidity and ignorance than malice. Be aware of who people surround themselves with - it is often a reflection of themselves. Who do you surround yourself with? Forgive yourself - you are your harshest judge - since you know your most horrible darkest secrets. Build your own life brick by brick remembering quality not quantity. Create memories so you have lots of tales to regale in the retirement home - and if you get alzheimers and have to relive your life while drooling - do you want to relive working and watching TV or would you rather go back to snowboarding in the Andes, running the Boston marathon, picnics by the beach and group sex with a bunch of cute backpackers. Teach others and give advice - you are also telling yourself the good stuff - that you know you should be doing but aren't - yet.

21 was a long time ago... what I wish I'd known back then: You're too young to get married. And she is too. Travel and have a life first. Back yourself - you're far more capable than you realise. Don't assume the boss is better than you at what you do. If you're not happy, move on. Life is too short. That favourite recipe your mother used to make? Give up, yours will never taste as good as hers. Try out bondage and spanking. You might be surprised (but make sure you ask first. Don't just cuff her) Don't worry about how much you drink. You'll grow out of it. Learn to laugh at yourself. You've got a lot to laugh about :) Read widely and learn to figure things out for yourself. Don't trust politicians, the media, teachers, or university faculty. They have an agenda. Rights and responsibilities are two sides of the same coin. That coin is named "liberty".

Belle, a fantastic topic... I rarely comment in the forums, but when someone asks for advice I just can't resist :-) 21... all those years ago. I heard a quote the other night and I liked it... "Life's mistakes gives us wisdom"... oh how true and that makes me a really wise person, lol. So here it is... my 5 cents worth (used to be 2 cents when I was 21, lol) in no specific order: 1. Rely on your gut feelings and try not to move from your initial thought/s 2. Don't judge people, no matter what they do, look like, job they hold, habits they have, etc 3. When you think you're right... you're probably wrong 4. There is always somebody out there doing it tougher than you 5. Keep your mind active 6. Never settle for 2nd best 7. Don't do things out of guilt 8. Do what you when you want, be who you want to be... because you can! 9. Don't get talked into something, do it because you want too 10. Travel local, national and abroad... it's a bloody big world out there and you can learn a hell of a lot 11. Don't tie yourself down too young... experience life and love... you will learn 12. Don't be afraid to experiment... life has a lot to offer you... take as much as you can whilst you can! 13. Listen to wise people 14. Don't let the little things in life get you down 15. The best advice I think I can ever give somebody... is THINK POSITIVE... so much negativity surrounds our lives and it's too easy to get caught up in all... I have practised the "think positive" attitude for nearly 15 years now and I have to say it makes you feel better, it makes you want to wake up in the morning and embrace the day... yeah crap still happens... but thinking positive will clear things up a lot faster than having negative thoughts :-). I could probably add another 100, but I'll refrain, lol... Tiger now steps down of his "wise" soapbox. Have fun learning Belle!! Tiger

Don't ever get married! Or not until you're at least 35 and have sampled the delights of many wonderful lovers before you find the one to stick with! Don't let anyone put you down, be your own person, be strong; assertive while still being polite! Get a good education while you still can and find a career you can be passionate about...passion spills over into all areas of your life and means you can wake up each day with a BIG smile on your face. Travel, enjoy, explore, always use a condom and be nice to as many people as you can. They will remember you for it. Gee, I wish someone had told me all this twenty years ago, so I didn't get saddled with second best in life! :(

Well what to say regarding advice well it’s good to get ego feed buy random people it’s a buzz being so young and already here but the best lessons in life are learnt the hard way! Dunnalildifferen what excellent advice teach her to be a trash that just uses people I see this all the time in the clubs and it just makes me laugh how stupid men can be just to get that 500 grams off meet between your legs and not get it and at the same time you want to find may be a mate that has something in common with you lol may be he is a player as well could it be the reason he likes a better cup size or is it just because her actually wants somebody that has more in her head and sees better than what he has The advice well it goes something like this I it’s better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you’re not mwa xx kitten enjoy learning

1. Never take for granted what you already have and don't be greedy in life. 2. Have no regrets. 3. If you see worth in yourself then other people will too. 4. Don't think life is getting less fun when its only just beginning. 5. Don't chase women - let them chase you. : D 6. Keep fit - it gets harder as you get older.

hahah are you serious? a negative comment about a positive post and you insinuate that i am the negative one? how does telling someone to live life and give everything a go translate into fatalistic notion?Why would it matter if i married 20 times or never married? why can we have unlimited boyfriends or i know become swingers on a sex site but only marry once? Do you go to church every sunday? do you value the sanctity of marriage so much that you're only on here for the forums?

Meeka100 - I couldnt agree more...with you and myself lol :) That was my point exactly learn from it all and move in change what you can and accept what you cantEarl - you crack me up!! A+ for effortPs. one other piece of advice i forgot to mention... you're never to young or too poor to buy a house. no matter what the interest rates or cost of houses in the current market they will only increase so buy now! Seriously BUY now! I have a fantastic broker who doesnt charge( I can give you his number) - I missed some golden opportunites but was lucky enough to still jump in fairly young :)

Invest in real estate, ignore those that belittle you, if you have a talent and enjoy it try to make a career out of it. Don't be a slave to a company that makes millions but pays peanuts (I used to be a chef and worked 7 days a week for a measly $500 at the Hilton, after doing a 6 year apprenticehip, it took the best years of my young life there is NO MONEY in cheffing unless you are lucky!!) Don't play the vicitm card, you are responsible for your own life, I was molested by my mothers boyfriends and even she tried it on me when she was drunk, I cut my wrists at 21...and did play the vicitm for a while, then ok, it happened, but I espcaped, there is no need to turn to drugs or alcohol, I went to the gym instead and got a very nice body for it. Spot the chances in life and take them, I was offered a role in a movie and turned it down because of work, I was also offered a modelling chance in New York and was too scared, now I regret it. Realise that people will come into your life for a reason...and also leave for a reason, if you love someone and they only use you and inside you know it, don't hang on just because the sex is good, they WILL leave you eventually anyway. If you have just a few loyal friends, keep them as close as possible and never use or let them down. Don't allow political correctness and crappy politicans ruin your life, speak your mind and if the media tells you you must feel guilty over long dead past wrongs against other ethnic groups, turn of the tele or don't buy their newspapers. Don't read fashion magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Ignore celebrity 'advice' they do not live in our world. Bi-sexual sex is great and if it feels good and if it's with anothe adult just do it, who cares what some stuffy religious freak says anyway?

Row as on "Roe"... Or row as on "owl" ..... Rowville... lol. Pollyanna.... There are plenty of cities in the world, Paris for example, where people generally do not own there own homes. It's simply not possible to save up enough deposit and service the loan required. For many, Sydney is now one of those cities. Incidently my son is 21 and he already knows everything so from my perspective there's no advice that can be given to a 21 year old. :p hugs Stalky

My Grandfather used to say over and over to me "keep your sense of humour and you can deal with anything" At almost 50...and in hindsight..I've come to agree with him If you've got good friends you can rant and rave to when life gets difficult and can see the silly side and share it, it goes a loooooooooong way to helping get us through the tough stuff ;)

didnt realise my advice had to be based on paris? I live in Australia the land of opportunity and all my other advice on here has been to live and learn.But the question was what would you tell YOUR 21 year old self...and so REAL ESTATE ADVICE would be something I would definitely give myself ...AS I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA :) Sorry you didnt understand the forum question :)and not sure what the roe owl ? thing is not sure if you're struggling with the suburb ? And extremely glad i posted a fake one :)

Sorry Polly. I was typing it as slow as possible so that even you could understand. My point is that real estate in Sydney is completely out of reach unless you already have some.. He/she can't save enough deposit, nor service the mortgage necessary... Not at least, without financial help from somewhere. Even a total Pollyanna comes face to face with the harsh reality of real estate supply and demand in this city and just like Paris, most people will only dream of owning here. Hugs Stalky

I live in melbourne so I wouldnt know, I am familiar with sydney real estate I have some friends who live and own property there, and as I so clearly stated the question is what advice would you give your 21 year old self.. As i live in melbourne and i would be advising myself that is the advice Iwould give...sydney market would have no impact on my 21 year old self...again I dont know how many times I can explain the question maybe one day you will understand :)Ps the sydney market when i was 21 wasnt like it is today and it would still be possible, as it is now, i guess it just depends on what sort of person you are and what sort of career you have, obviously someone onthe dole couldnt afford to buy a house in sydney its gotta be all relative though doesnt it

I love my daughter I'm her daddy. Her Nick name is maddy. On Saturday night just passed. She did many a silly thing. But I love her. I had to give her some advice at least I was right about her ringing the cab co to see if her purse was handed in. It had been she was just going to leave it as lost. So I had to tell her she puts far too much faith in other people and there is time to drink to excess and then there's time to just get into the happy stage and then just drink lightly so you stay there. I think my daughter will be fine. I told her that she must have a good guardian angel looking after her. Tomorrow I'm taking her shopping to get a clubbing bag small light and tuff. So she won't loose it again.

Does that mean we live life to the max while we still can. I think you may be right. I think every thing has gone too far. No one is standing up to the plate. One would think that with the G F S and every thing that it would spark a paradigm shift away from greed instead of sustainability. For get crippling economies with green tax. By all means impose small penalties but give companies tax ceredits on becomming green. Sit back and watch the paradigm change. Derrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!! Who has mentioned this??????????? I should run for the next election. Ha ha. I'll rule with a red nose on my face. Lol.

As they're a dying breed! No on a serious not.. respect yourself and others and if your instincts are to do it then do it. Get off the beaten path and make your own. Remember your manners..Be nice to the little old lady crossing the road & if she's struggling with her groceries offer to help her please. Dont wait for others to do things. You do it. XX Enjoy your own life.

well 21, was a time for me when i wasnt expected to make 22. I had it all, i had an investment property, sold it and pissed it against the wall. I guess my advice would be to hang on to what i had, cut out the drugs and alcohol and buy more property, and keep your cash in the bank, rather than spending it on women and fast cars

Im a 21 yo trapped in a 52yo body LOL Couple of things 1. Look after your gums and teeth. spend whatever it takes to do this. 2. Look to yourself for advice because you know yourself best and you will always do the best thing for yourself even if in hindsight it prob wasnt the best decision!! Life is a journey to be lived dont regret anything. 3. Travel travel travel it is the best education you can give yourself, then when ur finished buy property!!! Enjoy life remember we choose our outlook on life everyday and it is so much easier to be upbeat if you remember your the one who controls this. Good Luck xx
