Ignore the people who say you can’t, if you want to fight for it, don’t turn down any opportunity just because you think you can’t if you want it go for it. If you try and fail at least you tried, when you don’t try failure is assured, so you have nothing to lose by trying.

Don’t start.
(He’ll know what I’m talking about.)

You are not crazy or out of control, you are being influenced by a disorder to be named ADHD sometime in the future. Try to find a doctor who knows something about it, otherwise cut out the sugar and keep your eyes and ears open for help.

Don't sell the Tele .... or the Strat .... or the Les Paul Deluxe, or the Coronado II, or the J45, or the Hofner Club ...

Don’t listen to anyone. Follow your heart and work on your craft. It’s as legitimate as any other career being suggested in its place.

They’re going to be more than a little pissed when they catch you hitting golf balls from the top of the Junior High School building at 2 AM. Stay home and watch Cool Hand Luke instead, idiot.

Do whatever brings you peace, happiness, and joy. Share it with others.

Get control of the sex drive. Control and direct that energy into something constructive. Learn to meditate and control the mind. Learn about female nature. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated by a pretty smile and the temporary condition of beauty. Know that marriage is a contract with the state which is primarily set up to financially benefit and protect the woman. Look up Title IV-D and heed the warning to your financial future. Stay out of Family Court. Take the money you would have wasted on dating and put it into a retirement account earning interest. Stop playing those superstrats with Floyd Roses and start playing a Gretsch with a Bigsby.

Buy Microsoft shares. As many as you can.
