Past Tense
Was reading Jason Hahn's Blog and I got motivated to write a letter to my 16-year-old self, to the 5 year ago David.
Dear David, the year is going to be stressful for you. Keep up the effort, and you will find everything fall into the right place.
I know you are worry about what the future holds for you. I know you are afraid of making the wrong choice, but you might find yourself worrying too much.
If everything remain unchanged, you will find your best friend in a year time while you will not notice it. You will fall in love but it will not work out, like totally. You will find yourself with fun-loving people and do treasure them, because you need them.
Sorry to disappoint, but your height limit would be capped at 1.63m, but drinking milk is still important. You will not get into Archery team unless you take extra precaution on the day of selection.
Playing DotA might helps with your social life but hurts your academic results and your precious sleep (which might be a contributing factor why you are only slightly taller than average). If you think your basketball skill can improve over time, maybe you can consider dropping the idea. Accept it, we have no ball sense.
Start to watch Mum's diet, and do not let her slack off in exercising. Doing so might get Mum pissed but you won't get allowance from her soon anyway. The trade-off is worth it.
With these information, my guess is that you will worry even more, but trust yourself. You will face much more difficult challenge so do treasure your smooth sailing ride in life.
Do cultivate a better financial habits,
David Alvis
