I agree with pretty much all of you. It's sad how much I fell i've got in common with so many of those answers.
I refuse to have to pick and choose a best one out of them because they're almost all fantastic.

I will regret not being a childrens nurse, as back then we had to leave school and earn a wage, like you I should have had the guts to say No to my father and wish to do this. However, we live and we learn so to speak.

I hope to regret nothing, if I do it will only be any chances/opportunities I didn't go for. As far as I know , we only get one chance at life, I want to be as happy as I can. My mother, (and I really loved her), was a total con troll freak, and only thought her way was the right way. I was almost 30, before I figured out how to deal with her. For example, if she came to my house, it was never clean enough,(I had 2 kids & worked full time), so one day when she dropped by, I told her she could'nt come in, because I did not need the critsim, she said she would not say a word, I replied,"yea, but you always have THAT look on your face", it worked, she learned not to say anything about my house. Next issue was she exspected everyone for dinner Every Sunday, she did'nt ask, she just exspected you to show up, on time(dinner was ruined if you were 5 minutes late).So one Sunday we just did'nt show up, of course she had a hissy fit, but I just said, "Mom, you will have to ask us in advance, sometimes we are too busy". It may sound like I was being harsh with my mother, but when I started putting my foot down, she actually seemed to respect me more, it made her realize I was an adult, just as strong willed as she was. It does not make you a bad person to have to say NO, to your parents, and it does not have to ruin the relationship either. Good Luck, they can be hard to retrain.

I wish that I hadn't wasted so much tiime in college. I have a learning disability and couldn't accomplish anything. I wish that, in '87, the year I finished high school I knew where I could accomplish so I could be there now.
I want to be in computers and on my own. Instead, I am stuck at a deadedn job in a resaurant due to no one givng a chance to learn the work. People are so discriminative. I have never had a place of my own either.

I'm 70 so I'm nowhere near old yet.
B*gger regrets!
Life is for living, not looking back at with regret.
So what if things have been bad sometimes? That was then. You're alive now!
Take a walk in the out-doors!
Read a funny book!
Flirt with a baby in the supermarket! It's not possible to be filled with regret if you're making a baby laugh.
Give us a smile. lol

I look back and think that some of the things I did were stupid.. but I don't regret. I am the person that I am today because of the things that I have done, or the things that others have done to me. I like the way I've turned out. Wouldn't change a thing!

Not standing up to my bully of a father. He terrified me with his violent demeanour. I left home at 15 to get away from him and visited as least as I could. What I didn't know was what he was doing to my older siblings. If I had stood up to him I may have stopped that. He broke my nose when I was 7 and I was scared he would go further. He laid into me with a belt, at the buckle end on another occasions. Now I am a retired law enforcement officer working in the field of child protection I wish I knew then what I know now. Pain is a state of mind.

I don't regret things I have said or done becuase they have been good things mostly and the bad things I have learnt from, apologised for and so on..... However- it's the things I didn't say and didn't do and the fact that it's too late to say and do these things that I regret now and probably will until the day I die.

Not changing the world early enough, missing out the fun things in my youth as I usually stick to the conventional ideal routes like a good boy.
