Your past will always catch up to you. Mine did today. Two Internet entrepreneur friends from Europe came by the Bay Area for a chat at Sushi Ran in Sausalito. I haven't seen them more than a few times since the days we used to work together in Stockholm, in the evolving mid-90's.
We had all gained some weight (sorry, guys) since our early 30's but everything else was pretty much the same. Oh, except for the experience and individual growth. In our talks it felt like time never happened. 1996 felt like yesterday but with a much more mature and honest perspective. All the material things aside, that's what we bring through life, our ability to learn and grow from our mistakes.
So my answer to the question "What are you going to do next?" has to be: Make more mistakes! There is no better way to learn.
