**If only I knew back then what I have learned throughout...?** (parents, children)

I'm just wondering what you guys think would have been some of the most useful things to have known back when you were young enough for that knowledge to have made a difference(or at least prevented you from a lot of the troubles or regrets that happened). Perhaps things that you believe that your own children should have a right to be educated with.

One thing I wish I had known when I was younger is the importance of having a good work ethic in general, and I could elaborate on this further but would like to give the show over to you guys

This was a recent subject. Maybe you would like to add to it?

That it would not be the things I did in my life I'd regret but rather the ones I didn't do. I wish I'd realized the importance of friends and realized that they leave if you don't nurture friendships. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to never let yourself get too busy for friends. You miss them when they're gone.
