You can't know the future. Yet with cetainty we do know our personal narrative. 

Your history is unique to only you and for the majority of us, very rarely do we look back and examine our own past. But when we do, we learn something about ourselves. This project started on the 17th of March 2007 when I ask the questions: What advice would I give myself? And if there was one area, one specific thing that I could go back and advise myself on; What would it be? Then I started asking the question to my friends and then to complete strangers (a great ice breaker).  

In asking I learnt new insights not only into their lives, but also surprisingly into my own. In sharing the advice that was shared I hope you can learn something too. So now I need your help. 

Each week I'm updating the site with 10 new pieces of advice. My goal is 999 pieces of advice and to achieve it: I need Your advice to Yourself. If you don't have any! That's okay, just do like I did and ask next 10 people you come across: What would be their advice to themselves? Then send the answers in.

 

Happy advising.
