Don't be harsh and overly judgemental with people.
You will do things that you thought you never would....good and bad.
Love your family, wife, and kids. They are the most important things in life. If you put them first in life, it will bring you much joy. If you don't let them know (by your constant actions) that they come before work, then when you grow old you will not be pleased.. Not only that, if you get sick, llike with cancer, your family will be with you or not with you based on how important you made them in your life.
Peace will never come to a man if his family is in constant turmoil because he didn't make the foundation of the family secure. Yes, your role is to be the leader of the family.
Love God. Go to church. Read and learn about Him. Teach your family about God, and make sure they will be in heaven with you.

Rule #1: Allow Jesus into your life. Know Him as your savior.
Rule #2: Life is not about money.
Your goal in life should not be wealth. Yes, you do need to earn enough to pay your bills and to plan for retirement but do not forsake your friends and your family for work. Work will always be there, you may lose your friends and family along the way.
Make a plan to have a modest home that is paid for by the time you are 40. Buy a 6 cylinder 97-2001 Jeep Wrangler or a 97-2001 Jeep Cherokee and drive it until it can no longer be driven (odds are that won't happen in your lifetime). Then at 40 you will have no house note, no car note and no other debt.
Rule #3: Never, ever use credit cards. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. It should be a hint to you that you can't afford it.
Rule #4: See rule #1. :)

1) Enjoy, go on a tour of the world, dont get bogged down too early with house and hearth, do it later.
2) Dont worry, it achieves nothing.
3) If someone hurts you, forget it. Draw a line under it and move on, If you dwell on bad stuff then you will end up vengeful and bitter. Try to start each day anew.
4) Be proud of your abilities and achievements, but not big headed. Have faith in yourself.
5) Few people leave a mark on humanity, fewer leave a mark on the earth, none leave a mark on the universe, so accept that you wont, and dont panic.
6) Go out in the sun, and SMILE, it causes great feedback.
7) No matter how bad you are at dancing, never ever pass up a chance to do it.

(A) Throughout your life, you'll spend an enormous chunk of your energy managing fear. Most of this is wasted, because most of what you're afraid of either won't happen or won't be as bad as you thought. Let it go and have some fun.
(B) When you do get hurt, it's a signal that you've done something that you probably shouldn't have. Learn from it.
(C) Own as little as you possibly can, but have as many friends as you possibly can.
(D) If you have children, you will probably ignore all of the above.

Ask the 40 yr old : How did you feel and what did you you when you were 20 yrs old?
Ask the 80 yrs old: What did you do and how did you feel during past 40 years.
The answers should tell you something.

I am 51 years old. If I could go back to my early 20's I would never started drinking. I said and did things while under the influence that I'll regret for the rest of my life.
I would have studied the bible and would have found a home church.

50 years old
you can only change yourself - your behavior, your reactions.
you might be able to influence other people, but don't get all caught up in trying to change them.
Show up. Pay attention. Tell the truth. Be open to outcome.
Read the Tao Te Ching. Often.
Learn about Active Listening (and learn how to do it) as soon as possible. It will make relationships with other people so much easier.

One of the worst things in life is to look back and wish you had tried....
Marry your best friend and work to be a best friend to them
Forgive quickly---resentments are too heavy to carry around for long. They will slow you down
Always keep an open mind and continue to learn
Say what you want to your loved ones every day. You never know when or what your last words to them will be.
Laugh often and live life with a passion!

OK - I'm only 38 but here it is
You can't change anyone else's behavior, all you can do is change your reaction to it.
Don't be afraid to be young while you are young. Enjoy your time. Laugh often.
Help others, open a door, mow someones lawn, help with groceries - just because.
Find what you love to do and make a career out of it - that way going to work is fun!!!
