If you could go back 10 years in time and meet yourself face to face, but only had 5 minutes to speak to yourself, what would you say?

    Stand up for yourself against all the a-holes in school, what is going to happen in the next 10 years and look into making money online while it is a lot easier than 10 years in the future.

      Or just buy stock in Google. It works for other time travelers, like Matt Cutts.
      You'd still be 53 years off so good luck going back 10 years six more times.

    I would say nothing and just slap my face for the full 5 minutes.

    I would tell myself to take real estate classes and become a realtor.

    Telling myself how to make a fortune would be the easy part. But things would be much more difficult as far as personal relationships and health are concerned. Because it is possible that things could have turned out worse if I had done things differently. Still I would give it a try though.

    I would tell myself how to utilize the internet to make money. I would also tell myself to buy a good digital camera to take as many pics as possible in South America and in Europe. I think I would also tell myself not to drink so much in South America that way I could remember more of it!

      "self" about the freaknoid that tried murderin` me :rolleyes:

      First I`d tell my "self" to give up farmwork ... I am now on
      disability pension from a combination of a degenerative disease
      I was born with, doing hard physical labour (farmwork) all my life
      and a severe work injury which uncovered the damage.

      Secondly I`d tell my "self" to get a computer and look into
      earning online ... and to stay away from "erbalife" ... hahha

      Thirdly I`d YELL at my "self" ... STAY AWAY FROM ALL RACHEL`S"!! :rolleyes:
