When we were kids playing games, when we screwed up we would shout "do-over!" . If you had the opportunity to "do-over" any part or all of your life, what would you change, or "do-over"?

I would have a different career. I make good money, but I am not happy with what I do - but looking to retire in a few years as I have been doing this for some time and have an 'early out' option.
I would have enjoyed myself more when I was younger and single - more travel, taken more elective type classes, done more things along those lines.
Spent less time worrying about what other people thought or told me that I should do and followed my own heart and dreams more.

First i would try to repair the mistakes of the past, but after a while i should discover that i am making new mistakes.A good thing would be that the day to do-over or the life to do over any time i want.
Cheers!!!

Just as you mentioned, do-over is a game. It is make believe.
We have plenty of opportunity to do better now. Thinking in the past, focusing on regrets is a waste of valuable time. The challenge is to accept ourselves for what we are and the journey that brought us here. I believe that "the time to be happy is now and the place to be happy is here".(I think John Lennon said that)
Now having said all that,.... my one do-over would be the damn cigarettes.

Thats a good question. I suppose I would have gone to university earlier. I am about to begin a course but I wish I had done it before because I am suffering from a lack of good pay now, whereas I would have been graduated by now if I had gone at 18. But thats life, we can only do our best!

I'd decline on a job offer that I took.
The company told me I'd be working on a specific project for 3 months for them and then I would be rotated onto different project and technologies. I ended up stuck on that same project writing COBOL for nearly two years. As I kept asking when I was going to be able to move on, my frustration grew with them and their frustration grew with me. They didn't understand why I just didn't settle in to the fact that they only wanted me as a COBOL programmer. So, they lied to me and it caused both me and the company frustration.
I would have declined their offer and had a less stressful year and a half.

I would take some time alone and sorting out my feelings for my husband when we separated. Instead, I jumped right into a relationship and am now questioning what would have happened if I had given my marriage a little more time.

I would wait until I had graduated from college, obtained a great job, and was married before having children. I did it in reverse order which made life more difficult.

Stayed in School.
Wouldn't have got in debt.
Wouldn't have WASTED 5 and a half years of my life. Although I learned some from my mistake.

I would've made more friends in high school and in college, and not been so dependant on the males in my life. It would be nice to have someone to turn to right now, who I knew was on my side no matter what was going on.
