What advice would you give to childhood Janeway?

Purdy Bear

Lieutenant Commander
Red Shirt
If Captain Janeway was a child living on the farm, and you had a chance to speak to her, what would you say?


I would say:

Enjoy your childhood, dont grow up too soon. Dream big dreams and then build roots under them. No matter what people say, if you put your mind to it, you can achieve your dreams and cross the stars into unseen places. Not only work hard but enjoy life and live it to the full.
 
Thats actually a good question :D.

ermm... i would say that your going to be a captain of a starship and your gonna get your self lost because you cant find a gas station. If you keep working hard in your studies you will succeed. Your going to help many aliens along the way. Your going to have enemies but keep your enemies even closer. Your going to fall in love, but you will not let it happen. Ignore this and follow your heart and to hell with star fleet regulations.. Enjoy life :D :D
 
This is an excellent question. I've never seen it before, but I love it.

I would say...

Kate, you probably won't understand what I'm about to tell you, but you will. Trust in me when I say there will come many times in your life when you will feel that you've hit an impossible and impassible wall. Know that it's neither. Know sometimes you have to punch your way through and sometimes you have tread softly. Trust yourself. Be confident in even what may seem like your bad choices. You'll find that what you learn from them will shape worlds. Someday, you'll need to know these things, so remember what I've said. But, for now, trust your parents and learn to garden. You'll like it when you're older.
 
there was a Doctor who audio where they went and met Richard III, and King Dick's reply to advice form future times was simply thing "Not again! Why won't you people just leave me alone."

I'm amazed that the multitudes hadn't tried to Sarah Connor her a dozen times before her 5th birthday.

My advice however would be this... "Don't waste your time on Hobbes, he's a cheater."
 
I would also add:

Dont listen to anyone who says you cant do any career because your a girl. If you have the aptitude, talent, and want to do it, then go for it.
 
Sexism doesn't exist in the future.

Suuuuuposedly.

It'd be like reinventing sexism to tell a young girl that gender dictates elitism or classism when such a thing is impossibly unthinkable to her.

It'd be like telling her that the Nazi ideal that insist that hair and eye colour barriers dictating position will not stop her either.

It's be like in the that movie the invention of lying. :)

Remember Sisko's meltdown about how the hologram forgot about racism in the 1950s?

**Sigh**

Sorry.

I would also tell her that if she just persists a little harder that she will be the greatest tennis player of all time.
 
Well human on human at least.

Picards lot were very confused by Ferengi ideology and the less said about Deanna being jealous that Riker was being exploited in Angel One the better.

You have to remember that after humanity was knocked back to 60 million after WWIII that women wouldn't have been allowed to sit back and use sex as an argument for a free ride as princesses anymore... And then along came colonel green who according to TOS executed a whole bunch of people because of racial purity which Enterprise rejiggered to say that Green was just getting rid of the mutants and damaged stock to control "purity" in the coming generations. But of course mutants and damaged stock are people with feelings too.

After isms are used to justify building ovens for people AGAIN, it just becomes tiresome to be so judgy before some one blackkettles you into someoneelses oven because you thought Grettle was an obedient slave.
 
"I'M ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS"

I think she might run away scared, though.

Oh wait...advice. I don't have any of that.
