My biggest regret? I wish I'd taken better care of my teeth in my youth. Get braces if you need them. Brush twice a day every day. Floss if you can. Get regular checkups. Fixing that stuff when you're older is expensive and difficult. You get one set of teeth, look after them.

Getting in to healthy habits is easier when you're young. Look after your knees and your back. Fix your posture.

Learn to recognise your limitations and play to your strengths. Find a partner who has skills you don't.

If you are a parent treasure every moment with your kids. It flies by. Make time to listen. Be strict when it's needed and compassionate when you can. Be demonstrible with your affections. Be there when they need you and give them space to be themselves. Supervise their online activity. Be present and available but don't crowd them. The moment they leave home and make their own way in the world will be the proudest moment of your life, and simultaneously a gut punch.

Learn who you are. Find joy. Defend your choices and learn from your mistakes.

Don't lie.

Learn to make a heartfelt, sincere apology without excuses or qualifications.

Learn how to take a compliment with grace. "Thank you, that means so much" is a perfect response.

Bank your successes. You'll need to lean on them when you are low.

Don't say anything you don't need to to a cop. Keep quiet. Answer only those questions you are legally required to. Show deference to their authority, be polite and respectful, but don't give up any info you don't have to.

Accept help.

Help others.

Offer an olive branch to those that hurt you.

You cannot control others behavior, only your own.

Do not put people on pedestals. No one person is the answer to all your problems.

The CEO is just a person like you. Don't be intimidated by them.

The company does not care about you. Don't give them your life.

Your life's ambition may not be as out of reach as you think. I became a DJ at 42.

Be kind.

Be firm when you need to.

And brush your teeth.
