Was it Oscar Wilde that said 'Youth is wasted on the Young'?

For those of us that are a little more errr, ahem, mature - what would you tell your younger self, if you could give yourself a piece of advice, with the benefit of hindsight?

    Dont rush your life, it is much better to slow down and take your time. Experience life and find out who you really are.

    Don't let time go by without taking care of yourself. I lost a lot of years letting life pass me by because I didn't really feel like doing anything. Work, take care of kids.. go to bed. Spend time on yourself. Exercise at least an hour a day. It changes your whole outlook. Exercise is the fountain of youth.

    Learn to cut your losses and walk away, don’t waste your life stubbornly attempting to make things work that just don’t.

    Oh and put the fork down fatty.

    Get married assuming it's for life, but keep a separate bank account for when it proves not to be.

    Well, after looking back at high school pics, I would say "Girl! You are so not fat! Look at that great rack and those curvy hips! Women would kill for that body! You're young now, but your mind will catch up to your body soon. Be patient sexy!"

    Stop serial dating just because you want to fill that Dad-shaped-hole in your life.
