Have you ever wished?
« on: May 01, 2009, 07:34:34 PM »
That you could go back and change something?  I do.  For a while now, I wish that I could go back and change the way I let things go for me in highschool.   If I could I would go back and do everything differently.
Some of the things that I did have been bothering me lately.  Not chasing girls, being a lonewolf etc.   But I did always view that most people that I went to school with were very childish.

Don't let it get you down too much :)

I usually don't regret even the worst of things I've done.  Just made me who I am today.

Each day is a brand new day to be the best you that you can be.  And just think, after any mistakes, there's always a chance that the you today is gonna end up wiser & better than the you from yesterday. :)

I wish I would have served in the Military.   It is a regret I have and think about at least once a day.

As much as an "ism" as it may be, hindsight is 20/20.  Of course it would be easy to go back now knowing what you know...

+1 on that. Probably my biggest regret too.

I salute and thank all the veterans who served while i was young and just cared about "me".

Don't worry about it.  The further you get from it the more you'll realize how little high school matters.

Not on a personal level, but i always wondered what would happen if I could take my computer back in time and give it to someone like edison, or einstein, and then see what the world would be like now.

I regret, but to err is to be human. I regret having a girlfriend who lives some distance away with no personal transportation on my part. I regret goofing off and playing Aces High when I could be studying or doing homework. Regrets are ways to make us not make more mistakes of the same caliber.

Of course, but i'm still interested to know how it would turn out, as long as I could change things back to normal.

Regrets are pointless.

Do not look back.

If you are not happy with your life as it is now, don't regret the failure to take the paths you currently desire to be on.... Do something about it.

I have done things that I regret doing but I also realise that I have learned the greatest things from my worst mistakes.

Without mistakes you cannot appreciate correct actions. Mistakes and regrets provide perspective... so don't dwell on them. Use them.
