Learn to listen as effectively as you can.
Learn alternative leadership skills and when to use them.
Learn a problem-solving skills set
Learn, over time, to understand your emotions.
Your life is a knowledge vessel. Learn as much as you can about everything.
Learn not to eat more than you need to live.
Learn not to need cigarettes and hard liquor.
Learn to enjoy laughter both in others and in yourself.
Learn to love.

Also, depending on where you are when you are 30:

Learn to plan.
Learn to organize.
Learn to direct others.
Learn to monitor work performance and work results.
Learn to report.

Well Ime done with my high school all I have now is the vocational program. I just can't believe I've made it back in 7th an 8th grade I hit a true low point to we're I seriously didn't know what life would bring. I had principals telling me I was there worst student ever an then other significant people of authority telling me I would never make it the way I was. I had great parents an family thoe an friends that's what got me through trually difficult times. Just truly amazing from we're I was years back.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Congratulations for sticking it out.  My last six months of high school I had to hold my breath, or go ballistic on a certain teacher that was pushing me to fail.   Good going on the vocational end of it, may you do well.

Neil,

There is nothing I can add to the advice given already in this thread, from some very wise men.

I know you will do well in whatever you pursue, you have already shown those of us who have been here a while what you can do.

I think I can speak for all of us, that we are here for you, if ever you should need advice or just a small push to get you going, should you stall in your pursuits from this point on.

Proud to call you a friend, that is certain. You are an inspiration to some of us, at times.

Keep it up, you will do great things in your time. Your determination is an awesome trait to have.
