We’ve all been guilty of uttering the phrase, “If only I knew then what I know now.”
Unfortunately, there’s no going back now. So many times we look back and laugh over the fact the we should have listened to what all the adults told us, because they ended up being right. It’s bitter sweet really.
Women are always talking to about how much what they know now would have changed their lives back in the day, but what about men?
Well fellas, what do you know now that you wish you knew back in the day?

“How important it is to listen to your parents or any other elders that seem to be nagging or preaching. They are actually giving you the greatest gift ever, advice through experience. How important it is to save money for a rainy day… that being a rock star seems cool, but the journey to become one will be short lived with long lasting consequences. Most importanly, appreciate every moment and make as much time as possible for the people you love.
