What would you write to your 16 year old self?

Was reading 8Days today (people who know me well would probably know that I'm a huge 8Days fan who buys every issue without fail)

Anyway, as usual, I was happily reading Jason Hahn's "First Person" column (I think I have a serious crush on him but that's another matter for exploring some other day) and after reading it, I felt truly inspired about a book he mentioned on his column, "Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self", that I penned a letter to my 16 year old self.

Here's how the letter goes,

"Dear Me,

This is yours truly speaking to you from your adulthood! So anyway just to let you know in advance that you'll be reinforcing your delightful secretive self-imposed Christian name to full force at this prime age and it might probably be your best decision to date!

You would have chosen to take the polytechnic route by now but do take time out to explore the possibility of entering junior college! But of course, do keep in mind that if you choose the latter, you will miss the opportunity to befriend a group of great polymates!

Oh and remember that part-time bakery job you just ended with? Just to tell you that it's a complete waste of time and you would have been better off taking up an administrative job instead as it looks really weird on your resume, as we scroll down your lists of work experiences!

You must also study doubly hard as of now so you can enter a local U of your choice, this is very important! Oh and you must cherish your bunch of secondary school mates and spend more time with them as of now as you'll be much busier later in life to do so!

I need you to save up now to set up a trading account and remember to short sell as many Lehman Brothers stock as you can in late August 2008 and you'll be settled for life!

Try and write a letter to convince James Cameron to launch Avatar in 2010 and pray hard he'll remember you enough to donate you a share of the box office proceeds cause this film will make a killing at the box office and be deeply engraved in the history of films!

Oh and please dissuade that secondary school friend of yours from riding a motorbike so he wouldn't be gone so young and we are talking about a life at stake here so be serious.

Okay that's all! Thanks manx thanks! Big K!"

How would your letter to your sixteen year old self be like?
