  Carolina, CBS seventeen and studio. Check them out nine o'clock Money through Friday,
• 0:06
  and we're talking about you know, this week is a big week for
• 0:09
  graduations. I just went to my son's last day of school, like celebration.
• 0:12
  He's not graduating, Thank goodness, or I'd be in tears. But
• 0:15
  what would you tell your younger self if you could think back to which it's
• 0:18
  not. It's not that long for something, reall Like, I mean,
• 0:21
  like, yeah, we're so ye, But what would you tell your eighteen
• 0:23
  year old self? Don't eat the fruit the day you plant the seed.
• 0:27
  I like that. What I mean by that is you're not gonna get all
• 0:30
  of the benefits right as soon as you know you put all that effort out
• 0:33
  there. You've got to you got to work for it. And you shouldn't
• 0:36
  feel bad that you have to work for it. Oh, I think it
• 0:38
  makes you appreciate it more too, when you work for amy. What do
• 0:40
  you think not to overthink every moment? I had a boss tell me once
• 0:45
  He's like, a you're gonna overthink your life away And like, yeah,
• 0:48
  want so many things. I did. You look at so many opportunities and
• 0:52
  you think you just play them out and then you don't end up taking an
• 0:56
  action. Sometimes it's better to just go ahead and do it. Trevor,
• 0:59
  I would say, he just graduated yesterday. That's the problem. Say,
• 1:03
  don't waste your money on college because you're not graduating. College is not for
• 1:07
  everybody. Everybody, it's not for everybody, and a lot of the times
• 1:10
  you're not going to get what you think a college degree will get you.
• 1:12
  This segment brought to you by the University of Mount Oliver. All Right,
• 1:15
  So my eighteen year old self would say, embrace each chapter of your life.
• 1:19
  You might not be in the chapter that you love, and this is
• 1:22
  after graduation, but if you embrace it and your attitude is on the right
• 1:25
  track, like it will open so many doors. And so just embrace each
• 1:29
  chapter because you never know who you're going to meet, what doors it could
• 1:32
  open, and can embrace every moment. And I do think attitude is really
• 1:36
  the key to everything. They I mean, like, if you look at
• 1:38
  something a different way, even if it's a horrible situation, it can change
• 1:41
  at tenfold. So what do you want to tell your eighteen year old self.
• 1:45
  Maybe you have kids that are graduating, or maybe you're just graduating yourself
