Corbin: Letter to Me

                                     Letter to Me
                             Dear 40 year old self,
                   First off, if you are reading this and you are over 220 pounds, I'm disappointed. You were once a fit, athletic teenager. Keep it that way. I hope you are happy with all things you have done in your life. As a young seventeen year old boy you didn't really have fun with your life. As a kid all you ever did was focus on swimming, and school. I haven't lived life to the fullest, but I plan to change that. I would like to go to college and swim. Meet a girl, get married, start a family, and live the rest of my life as a happy man. If you haven't achieved your goals in life, you are losing time. Remember life is not about what you do, it's if your happy with what you have done. Going to the Olympics for swimming or having that dream job is all a pleasure, but if it doesn't make you happy, and it's not worth it to you then move on. Achieve greatness, but being happy with that greatness is the hardest task of all. If you have gotten all that you ever wanted and you are happy congratulation. All the hard work and effort you have ever put into life has paid off. Just a few words of advise, be a nice parent, but also be a strict parent. The easiest way to protect your kids is by being as influential in their lives as possible. Spank your kids when they're little, and ground them when they are older, but the main thing is to teach them their life lessons. Another thing, make sure you have a well taken care of lawn. Trim it, plant flowers, weed eat it, just make it look good. A nice lawn shows how much of a man you are. Finally, don't forget your family. They are the best friends you could ever have. They will be there for you, and they will always need you. Call David up and tell him you love him. Go see mom and dad. Be there for your family when they need you. I hope you have lived a great life so far. keep pushing, and never give up . I plan on working hard now, and I sure hope you are working hard then.
 
         P.S. It will be really disappointing if don't still have abs of steel. Work on those abs!!
