[Opinion] MEMO: Your Self in ten years, to self now

[Xenophon]

What would your Self of what you hope is your future say to you now?

Meeting mySelf in 2035, I reckon he'd say, "You COULD have been here seven years ago!" Seriously. I don't know whether people only use 10% of the brain. But it remains true we tend to splurge time.

I think future me would have some harsh, but encouraging words. I cannot repeat what they would say. Stock tips would be a bonus.

Stock tips "a bonus"? You have to remember what your future self and the present you think of as bonus might diverge widely. Young Yehudi Geldfresser might think making a killing in the market is the summum boum. His elder self might see the lad's ultimate interests lie elsewhere and set him up for a financially fatal free fall.

See? You should've moved faster like I said. Or not I exactly. The Coming Me.
