MY ADVISE TO ANYONE

Basically, I would impart these 5 points:
1. Re-invent yourself every 10 years.

2. Be prepared to retire @ 50-55 without the government's help (accumulate and develop the resources one needs to survive and prosper).

3. Ask yourself this question regarding someone else's leadership or direction - 'Would I follow this person into combat. Take their direction under extreme, questionable conditions.'

4. What's the end game?

5. We'll see.

(about the last two, if you have to ask what do I mean, you have a lot to learn.)

And a sixth one - learn to eat and drink well.
