NOV. '16:

The editors want to know....

What piece of sage advice would you tell your "twenty-something" self if you could go back in time?

Reader responses...

"To always love yourself and be happy with who you are. Once you have that, the rest will follow. Have many girlfriends. They are a great gift."  ~ Heather Cimorelli, NY

"Having integrity and following the Golden Rule will open up avenues to those who possess these traits!  And, listen more than speaking!"  ~ Chrystal King DeLisio, NY

"Experience as much travel as humanly possible and become right with the world! Colleges, men and careers will always be there. Become independent in the world and you will be victorious! Oh...and be happy and call your parents."  ~ Kirsten Duane, CA

"Stop worrying! Everything will turn out okay. Not the way you might have imagined, but still okay! Everything really does happen for a reason." ~ Megan Frandino, NY

"Find a mentor."  ~ Lynne Friedman, NY

"Travel and get out of your comfort zone."  ~ Bobbie Goodman, NY

"Be kind to yourself. You are enough."  ~ Maria Hoskins, NY

"Buy property and save for retirement! Seriously, life goes so fast!"  ~ Melbra King, CA

"Be true to yourself. Trust your God. Love others."  ~ Kerin O'Brien, NY

"Save 'til it hurts! Retiring at 55 is amazing! Also, worship your temple. Treat your body with the love and kindness it deserves."  ~ Janet Ohnikian, NY

"I'd say it all works out. Don't sweat the small stuff. Pursue your dream career. Ramen noodles for dinner are okay."  ~ Elizabeth Kerr Mahoney, NJ

"Live in the NOW with much gratitude."  ~ Patrice Morris, NY

"Don't give up...ever! And, I thank "her" now for never giving up!"  ~ Pam Perrotta, NY

"If you have a goal of getting a college education....go for it. If you have a college education and have a goal of going to graduate school....start when you are young. Pursuing formal education is a lot tougher as you get older and have other responsibilities in your life."  ~ Lynne Schiffer, NY

"Success comes before work only in the dictionary. Give 100% of yourself 100% of the time, but don't forget to stop and smell the roses. Life is short, so be your best you."  ~ Mary Lou Smith, VT

"There is no rush in life to marry and have children. There is only a short period of time you are responsible for only you. So live on your own or with a friend. Travel. Visit home often. And don't let anyone mistreat you." ~ Jodi Cacopardo Stokdal, NY

"This too shall pass. No, really...it will."  ~ Kim Vuozzo, NY

"To love and value yourself 110%, to learn a second language, and to master one recipe that will become your signature dish."  ~ Cheryl Frazier-Woods, NY
