You get one shot at this. Don't die with regrets.

Find a good woman and stick with her.

Dream. Work. Achieve. Rinse. Repeat.

There are only a few key moments in your life. Recognize them and make good decisions.

Take risks, but don't be risky.

Experience your feelings.

You get one shot at this. Don't die with regrets.

Oh... and if you do get married one day, spend as much as you spend on your television on some marriage counseling before any trouble starts. Nobody is perfectly compatible but if you both know how to communicate and meet the needs of your spouse you'll have a much better marriage. Marriage counseling does not mean you have a failing marriage.

If you don't want to do that, then buy some marriage books. Learn what makes a woman tick before trying to figure it all out on your own.

Well Tennessee Earnie Ford said to plant a tree, take a wife, and give the world a son. But then again, he owed his soul to the company store so who knows?

Video at least two different people that you have sex with it so you can replay it at 50 and smile. And jerk to it. Because sex after 50 with 50 year olds isn't going to look the same as having sex with 25 year olds. Especially when you are doing it.

Try drugs, but never tell anyone officially that you've done them.

Realize that most people will **** you over if given the chance. Your wife, your girlfriend, your co-workers, your boss, etc.

Volunteer somewhere once for a good cause. It will give you an satisfying ego boost in nearly every conversation you have with anyone no matter how long ago you volunteered.

Read an "intellectual" book once in your life. See above.

Learn to cook.

Drive at least once at 125 mph+.

Drink a lot of water and try to get at least seven hours of sleep a night.

never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Be honest, and don't treat people like shit from any walks of life because you never know if that acquaintance may **** you over in one way or another in the future.

And never wish away time you have because that's the one thing you'll never get back.

*Be active
*Take a self defense class with guys who can slap you around like a $2 hooker, it will put you in place really quick and teach you how to react should you ever need it (I recommend Krav Maga but that's highly debatable)
*When you see a woman that 'wows' you introduce yourself, a little preparation never hurts, opportunity rarely knocks twice
*Money doesn't buy happiness but lack of causes misery, find your happy happy medium
*Choose your friends wisely
*Be wise when choosing your friends
*Keep your family close
*When push comes to shove all you have in this world is your health (both mental & physical) and learn the yin and the yang between the two, they are highly dependent on one another
*Father time plays no favorites

When did I become old? (see the father time clause)

- Travel; the US and the world. Find a way

- Take a shot; at the girl, at the job, at moving to wherever. You can never go back- regret is most middle age men's "dark passenger"

- Learn a skill; play piano, learn a martial art, speak a language, get EMT qualified. Don't be like 90% of the moogs on here (no offense) who live their lives through a screen.

- Keep moving. "settling in" sounds nice, and to most dudes that means getting fat and having some bullsh*t routine of BBQ and softball games. It's been said numerous times- stay fit and have physical goals.

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation..." or something like that.

Is having kids not the reason for living? You can't take your belongings with you when you die, all the money in the world won't change that.

You may have fewer toys at the end but you will have people who unconditionally love you for who you are and not what you have. I would not change a thing about my life (except the ex-wife). I have a wonderful wife, a few real friends who would do anything for me as I would for them, 2 great sons and daughter inlaws and 3 awesome grandchildren. For me, that's living!

Stay the **** off of my lawn.

Don't get married. Don't trust anyone with money. Stay away from drugs. Work hard and keep your nose clean.

Don't ever loan money to anyone unless you plan on losing it. Does matter the amount.

Everything can be taken away from you except your morales and values. Those can't be touched unless you let them be

Buzzards & maggots do the world more good than peacocks & butterflies
Who you run with does matter

Keep rage alive.

Blame yourself whenever possible.

If you have to sleep in a cardboard box, try to get one of those refrigerator ones.
