Ask HN: If you could go back in time, what would you tell your 20 year old self?

Don't follow your biggest passion for work, it just kills the passion.

Follow your 2nd biggest passion, so that you enjoy your work but you still have something to enjoy when you aren't working.

What do I see differently - just about anything.

What would I tell myself? I wouldn't bother at all. Any advice that I can tell to my younger self was probably also available at the time. And I was really bad at listening to it. Sometimes you have to earn your own experience - other people's advice only goes so far.

Stop hanging out with people who you know aren't good for you.

Start believing in yourself more and more.

I would tell him how I was able to go back in time. It would revolutionize physics.

As to life advice, there's no point — you can't tell 20 year olds anything.

Slacking off and having it easy isn’t really all that great for you.

Wear a condom, you ah*le!

Not joking, I would give myself the winning numbers of a very large Powerball jackpot along with the date associated with those numbers.

Wake up at 4 or 5 AM. Every preventable bad thing in your life happens because of lack of sleep. Waking up early makes you go to bed early.

I like you and you're alive for a reason.

Love and trust are mass hallucinations.

The lottery numbers.
