In a video game, you try different things and watch the results.  You grab weapons, ammo, treasures whenever possible.

Life is kind of the same way - except the weapons and ammo are you education, your friends and support systems.  The treasures are your work experiences, your relationships and your joy in life.

Just as in the game, you try different things ... and watch and talk to your friends to find the route with the highest rewards.

What I wish I knew at 18 …

 
“When I was 18, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in three years."   Mark Twain
