If you could give advice to your younger self, it probably wouldn't be about buying the right clothes or putting on eye cream.

CBC Radio's WireTap asked a group of people from ages 7 to 93 to give pieces of sage wisdom to some of their younger counterparts. The video touches on many subjects from the silly to the serious like cultivating friends, staying true to yourself and the ever-important backing up your hard drive.

Of course, the best advice of all comes from a 93-year-old man who says simply, "don't listen to other people's advice. Nobody knows what the hell they're doing."
