LinkedIn is inviting its members to write essays describing what they’d do differently—or keep the same—if they knew when they were 22 what they know now.
Some high-profile individuals have contributed. Richard Branson is glad that foolish things he did at age 22 didn’t result in consequences that compromised his future. And Arianna Huffington wishes she could have learned to take each day at a slower pace, like her mother.
So this week, we’d like to ask you: What do you wish you knew when you were 22? Share an answer with us, and if you like, one on LinkedIn (reg. req.).

Read the answers to last week’s question: Have you ever ‘fired’ a client, or wanted to? If so, why, and how did you do it?
Featured answer:
Posted by DeadHead: “I tried to fire a client when I discovered a fabrication in his case during a deposition three years in and about two months short of what became a four-week trial. He did not want to be fired, so he agreed to drop one aspect of his case. The lie, though, caught up to ‘us’ in the trial. Bottom line: I learned a great lesson in the process.”
