If you had to debate a younger version of yourself, who would win?

Topic #104:

If you had to debate a version of yourself that was ten years younger, who would win? What about a game of chess? Or a 5k run? How are you better, or worse, at various traits than you were then?

  1. What a silly challenge, but remains interesting :)
    I think, me today would win the whole proposed challenges but 5k run or climbing a mountain. I believe we have things that are getting better, and things getting slower

  2. I think I will win from an eight year old boy with the 5k run. :P

  3. Wow, very cute topic! :) Two in a row and loving the inspirations! Thanks Scott ♥ – Definitely a challenge on ideas and the adult me would win but the younger version of me is equally interesting. I would definitely explore this. :)

    I enjoyed today’s topic. It’s a no brainer that experience makes a world of difference in how we look at things. I loved the younger version of me but damn, I sure made a lot of bad choices.

  5. I’m not really a competitive person, but the older me would win because the younger me would know that older me has younger me beat on experience. Then we’d go get a beer.

  6. Um tema diferenciado ,muito bom,
    Os mais Jovens, até os 10K, Os mais velhos atinge os 5k .

    Os mais velhos tem o Dom da Sabedoria Divina.

  7. This is a fantastic topic! Here’s my take on it http://ryanfernandes.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/the-battle-of-the-ages/

    • Ryan: Are you sure you’re 27? When I began to read your blog, it sounded as if you were in your 60s. And then I read you were only 27! It certainly surprised me.

  9. I wasn’t old enough to speak much 10 years ago, so the 2011 me would win. :-)

  10. Boa Pergunta, claro que eu ganharia e muito, só com a experiência de vida que tenho hoje, seria uma glória.
    Não cometeria os erros do passado, teria escolhido um outro modo de viver.
    Abraços a todos!
    Mina!

    I would win. My younger self was arrogant and usually drunk. I’ve mellowed a lot since those days.

  12. The older me would always win an argument. I know I can trust myself. The younger me would win all games, sports and beauty contests.

  13. Very interesting topic! I think that if I were to debate a younger version of me, I would win as I know more now than I did then. However, the younger version of me would still want to win the argument and would find creative ways of trying. Though I’d have to admit that the younger me would win in sports and running as the current me is not able to do as much as I used to hehe.

  14. This topic made me think a lot. This is how I tackled it……http://holdeeeeat.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/me-ver-now-vs-me-ver-minus-10-years/

  15. I suspect my younger self would win. It would be like talking to a teenager today, they wrap you up in what they think are clever arguments until you just get exasperated and give up. The older I get the less likely I am to try and win the toss over trivial matters. Older and wiser beats young folk with verbal diarrhoea!

  16. Hummmm… Passion vs. experience. I’m not sure; I guess it would depend on the subject of the debate. With the scars of life, I hope I’m much wiser now!

  17. I would, because I’m not as emotional as I used to be. That doesn’t translate to less passionate, just not as easily rattled.

  18. I really tried to think what’s a good topic they’ll argue about but my feelings 10 years ago is kind of vague so here is what I got instead -> http://ittakes10k.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/1-187-of-10000-duel

  19. I think I’ll win. Because in my walk more than he, I also create the value of more than he. My personal website http://www.vibrams-5-fingers.com
