If You Could Do It All Again, What Would You Do Different??

Question

in life from the time you were in elementary school until now.

Answer 1

kinder and calmer and more assured

Answer 2

elementary school. I would have stood up for myself more. I would have kicked a few of those boys in the nuts. And I would have told the teachers I really don't need Trig...I have never used it, never will use it, and suffered for a whole year trying to figure it out.
I also would have run, not walked away from some situations. And I would have, on a pysical note, not cut my hair so much.
But everything I am today I owe to who I was then. It all creates you. So I wouldn't change too much. Just a little cosmetic stuff here and there.
And maybe I would have forced myself to learn to play the guitar. I really am trying now, and ....my fingers ache so darn much from trying.

Answer 3

Finish university instead of dropping out like I did. That is the one thing I do wish I could do over again.

My life might now be quite different career wise, and hopefully still the same family wise (I think I still would have met the same spouse and had the same kids).

Answer 4

First of all I'd like to point out the I'd rather cheat and preserve my current mind within the body of my previous self - that way I'd have everything to gain. ^_^

Secondly the changes.

I'd not have yielded to parental pressure as to what line of study is likely to 'get me a good office job'. It would have wasted a lot less of my time.

I'd have stayed in contact with that person from IL rather than losing her in a sea of dead links.

I'd have not made a few other mistakes in friendship... I'd have recognized that it was not friendship at all.

I'd have turned my path back towards my current one a lot sooner... with a lot more potential than I have now.

I'd have been forewarned of the pains of LDRs... but I'd probably do it over within the context of my other choices...

Even so... there is no time like the present, hmmn?

Answer 5

I would laugh more.....love deeper....and forgive myself more.....and learn only to trust my intuition first and foremost.

I would try to see the big picture, not just what the teacher is dishing out for this stupid time today.

I would realize that there are no excuses, no limits!

I would get my health checked, and change doctors if I didn't get the right answer, then my first child would not have died....due to blood clots.......I did not know I could choose a doctor in those days!

Answer 6

Actually I wouldn't do anything different. I am satisfied as to how my life has turned out and I wouldn't change one thing about it. I live for today, I look forward to tomorrow and I reflect on my past experience to help me through it all, no matter what unfolds in front of me.

Answer 7

I don't think I'd choose anything except perhaps the way I looked upon myself for a long period in and after my adolescence. I didn't believe in myself and I missed a couple of opportunities out of sheer half-hearted shyness. But otherwise I think my deeds were, well..., good enough.

Answer 8

It's a nice thought, but I wouldn't do anythng different. Everything happens the way it's supposed to for a reason. I'm happy with my life and the things that happened to me made me who I am today.

Answer 9

I would become a fashion designer and not marry in my teens.
I would be more risky moneywise and not missed as many investment opportunities. Otherwise I wouldn't change a thing.

Answer 10

We all tend to say YES!!!!! But, we would probably just make a whole new set of mistakes!!! Maybe it is better to learn from the past and look to the future?

Answer 11

well good question, and could be given alot of thought, but whats the point of that? i really wouldnt change anything! i a\mean its good to think about the past, but i really wouldnt change anything-otherwise it wouldnt be as interesting, even with all the mistakes and problems...
