What I'd Tell My 1990 Self (Part 1)

I recently read an article where the writer put down what he'd tell his 1990 self.  Here is my take (Part 1).

Hello, 1990 Brian.  Here are some things you should know:

Just because a girl looks like another girl you want to go out with, it doesn't mean its a good idea to go out on a date with her.

In 20 years you still won't care that much about what car you'll drive, just that you have one.


Its OK to be a nerd and read stuff no else cares about.  Being cool is overrated.

Being bold means you're going to embarrass yourself a lot.  Get used to it.  But being bold will get you an awesome wife.

Pay more attention to learning French than to the girls in French class.  You'll get to go to Paris and Haiti some day.


You'll make a good choice on a college.  Do a lot while you're there, but make sure to remember that life is more than trying to have a great resume.

All that time you spend honing your ability to beat box will pay off someday, but not until you have a couple little girls.  They will think it is AWESOME.
