No, there's no more. That's the question - open to your interpretation.

I would have done it instead of thinking about doing it...

No decision that you make is wrong...hear me out. If every decision you make is based on the information you have at the time, then you make a decision that you think is right for the situation. That is not to say that there are not bad decisions, but bad doesn't necessarily mean wrong. In that case...I would not change the choices I've made, because they were right then, just as they are right now. I've made a lot of bad choices, but that is not a bad thing...it has made me who I am. On the other hand, if I could have known what I know now, then I wouldn't have been the same person I was back then, and everything would be changed even if I made a different decision. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter...hindsight is 20/20, but living with the present in mind is the most important thing. You can dwell in the past, or use it to help in the future. Either way, it is what you know that governs what you do, and even if you knew then what you know now, as long as you are making your choices for yourself, I don't think anything else matters.

In many respects Yes in others No, we all wish we had taken a different road at times or not done or said a particular thing, then at other times we are happy with the path and people we chose. We cannot "shut that stable door after the horse has bolted" or "cry over spilt milk" so best to live with the knowledge that a particular episode or act may never be repeated.

Why look back and regret what you have done what you have been through in life and what has happened to you has developed you into the person that you are as long as you learn from your experiences and try not to repeat the same mistakes then life is good when you keep rehashing things you just make yourself miserable you would not be the person you are now if things would not have happened just the way they did in your past

Not one single thing! Occasionally thought I should have made a different decision but in hindsight would never have learned the lesson so - no regrets - waste of time. What's gone before has got me here and what happens now will get me to where ever the hell I'll be in the future - can't wait!

I'd make sure my mam had never married my step dad cos it turned out he was only after her money. But if i could go further back in time, i wouldn't have taken him to hospital when he had taken an overdose (because he wasn't getting his own way) and I'd have just left him there to rot...Cruel i know, but all he deserves because he's an uncaring leach and does nothing but ruin women's lives. Did i mention he ran off with my mams twin sister AND abandoned his daughter (from a previous marriage) when she was born, and then again years later by not even telling her that we were moving up north. Nice bloke i know but I'm sure Karma will take care of him! Everyone gets what is coming to them in the end...

I have wondered about this, but it seems that maybe it wouldn't matter much to some. I am curious about smokers who knew smoking could give them cancer when they started but do it anyway. This seems like a living example of the question.
As far as my personal answer, I would pick what I know about an entire season of a sport and then bet for the whole season and use the winnings wisely. I also wouldn't have married my first wife. (crazy lesbian)

I would have finished my college degree. I would have gone to that audition to perform at Disney World. I would have auditioned for a cruise ship. I wouldn't have cheated. I would have told my best friend I loved him before we hung up the phone that last time before his accident. I would have called my grandparent's more. I would have called my uncle one last time before his suicide. I wouldn't have picked on that poor girl in high school. I wouldn't have slept with anyone prior to marriage. I would have said "I'm sorry". I would have kept my pride in check. I would not have made fun. I would have shown more compassion. I would have held my tongue and kept my temper in check. I would have had the grace and compassion expected of me, human to human. I would have listened rather than turning a deaf ear. I would have loved.
Because I DID do all of these things I learned what not to do. It's not important to dwell so much on what you have and have not done and would and would not change but more "what did you learn from it?".

3 i would have been less concerned about what others thought I should have done, and gone in for the things I liked (I'm 57 and I grew up differently to todays youngsters)

I am 51. So here goes......I am alcoholic. My father was but I didn't know that the likelihood I would be in great jeopardy for this was so high. When I was growing up these things weren't known. My answer is... never having had a initial drink.
