Monochrome Monday fishing in the water and 10 things I wish I knew challenge

This is a post for Monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos.

This spot either on the rock wall I am standing on when I took this photo of from the water like this three for people to be fishing.

The Kid at the back of the two looks to me in this shot like he isn't to sure of what he is doing and I kind of got distracted by that when editing this shot trying to think back to the night that I took it and what I saw.

If I remember rightly they did seem to both know what they were doing and were having fun out in the water, and I am pretty sure I saw all three of them catch at least one fish before I moved on to get more photos

I will also use this shot and post to respond to the 10 THings I wish I knew Challenge which was started by @lymepoet who tagged me in her post here

Here are the rules:

Write down ten things that you wish you knew earlier in life.
Use the #tenthingschallenge tag, so that I can see all the posts and check them out
Tag 5 people for this challenge

Here's my submission:

Dont be in such a rush to get anywhere that you miss the views along the way
Make time for those that you love and make sure they know what they mean to you
True friends are those who hang around when times get tough, make sure you remember that and support your friends
Dont put off to tomorrow what can be done today, to often this can lead to never doing it
Live everyday as if it is your last, one day it will be
Avoid the terms Would Have, Could have and Should have, instead accept you did or didnt and move on
Be true to yourself do not change to suit what you think those around you
Distance yourself from negativity it only drags you down
When your young and foolhardy enjoy life but also remember injuries when your young may come back and remind you of your craziness as you get older
Challenge yourself but also make sure they are achievable goals not ones they you are setting yourself up to fail

Anyone can be part of this challenge, so go ahead create your post and tag your friends. It will be interesting to see how much we have or not in common, the lessons we learnt and discover more things about each other.

And I guess I should adhere to the rules and tag some people so @saffisara @dswigle @old-guy-photos @topkpop @dmcamera @sharoonyasir Consider yourself tagged

Unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

These are great! Oh, to have a do-over! I often think of my grandfather who always said that youth was wasted on the young.

I finally know what he means.

You tagged me twice! Tell me I am only going to have to do it once! ;)

Thank you for taking the challenge! Such a cool list of advices! Number 6 is my favourite! The "could have" and "should have" bring nothing but trouble.

Good stuff @tatoodjay. I think that number 1 many people are guilty of. I included. Lives of people are constantly go, go, go. Not enough time to reflect like we should

These are the true 10 commandments!
I will offer you two more phrases for your favorite subject photo. I hope that the phrases will be clear in translation.

Without difficulty, you can not catch fish from the pond.
Of all living things, the fish that the fisherman has already caught grow faster than all the others.

All ten of those are fantastic advice. I've learned much of it the hard way but at least I leaned it.

I love the photograph too. I bet that water feels good on a hot day.

number 8 is what i practice on a daily life, i stay away from ppl who are always negative because subconsciously it affects how we think, so when i have a bad day and feel an anger(it just come and you don't know why). i will shift my focus to somewhere else and focus on the positive side. it is not easy, but its possible and it helps! =)

Thats what I do also and I agree it is very important I truly believe Negativity breeds negativity so its best to get away from it

All of these are worthy ideals to pursue. If I were to pick a favourite then perhaps a tie between #1 and #7. The things we learn as we progress through life. If only we could relay that message to the younger us back in the day! Loved the photo also.

I have to agree it would be great if we could sent what we have learnt as we get older back to our younger selves LOL

You rounded up most of the things I wish I knew ... Unfortunately, it's usually age that teaches one things like this; and by then you wish you could do it all again... :) Have a great week ahead, JJ!

I ran a message board for trout fishing in California and spent 17 years trying to get a fish on the line for my son. We finally did it! Great photos. Thanks!
