| Ask YC: What would you tell your younger self? | ||
| recommended by 3 users | 2008 | 89 points by Jasber | life advice | original thread | | ||
If you could tell your younger self one thing what would it be? I was curious what the YC crowd would say to this. Personally, I'd tell myself to live for the moment. Don't worry about the future too much, as long as you have a good head on your shoulders things will work out. Before you know it years have flown by and you'll wonder where they went. So, what would you tell yourself? | ||

I have an old HN thread bookmarked, "Ask YC: What would you tell your younger self?"[1]. I read it over a few times a year and I think that on some level, it has affected my perspective. The thing is, the advice given is nothing new, especially the message of "do what you love".
