If you could undo one thing you had done in your life what would it be?

Answer 1

Can i have 2? I felt out with my husband (who was my childhood sweetheart from being 14) we decided to have a break from each other (OK I decided) he went to stay with his Mum back in South Africa and died of a heart attack aged 36, I should have thanked him from saving me from a terrible childhood and he taught me how to love and that I am worthy of being loved, he gave me my 2 daughters who saved me. And the 2nd is that I wish I had focused on them after he died instead of making them even more sad by seeing their mother be so week and mourn too long, making their home a sad one for many years, That's a bit sad I know, but you did ask.

Answer 2

Great question. [UK answer]

I've been working professionally in IT for 10 years now and still havent hit a big salary so I wish I'd paid more attention at school and finished my degree.
I wish I'd had the attitude I now have to money 12 years ago. I wouldn't be in such financial dire-straits. Why dont they teach personal budgetting at school?! When I started working part time during studies, I was offered credit after credit and now have a lifetime of debt to pay off.
All other mistakes I've learnt from or have lead on to interesting adventures. I've done some stupid things, lost jobs, etc, none of which I'm happy about, but learnt from all the mistakes, and each progressed me to who and where I am today, and I have a beautiful fiance that I wouldn't have met if I hadn't made some of those decisions.

Answer 3

This is equivalent to asking, what is the biggest regret in your life?

If there was one thing I could undo, that would be, to undo having missed this man's funeral and also missed comforting his widow. This man was someone I truly respected, and was the reason why I chose to become a biomedical engineer, because I hoped one day I could help his medical condition. He was an elder in the church, and showed much kindness to me in my younger days. It truly was one big regret in my life that I did not get to attend his funeral and also didn't comfort his widow within a certain time frame.

Answer 4

I would have trusted the Lord as my personal Saviour at a younger age.

Roman 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Answer 5

i would go back and take all the finals i purposely skipped in Spring 2001 at UNO. now that i'm back in college i have a low *** GPA plus i lost scholarships just because i wanted to show my parents i didn't need a college education when i was 18. how stupid was i.

i would also take back those times i got really drunk and decided that flashing ppl and doing sexual acts in public was cool. God, i was sooooooooooo dumb!

Answer 6

For years I have lived with the guilt of leaving my gf at the altar, I just never turned up. How I wish I could turn the clock back and right that injustice.

Answer 7

I'd have told on the sexual molester across the street a lot sooner than I really did. Maybe have saved someone else from having problems with him...

But, I was young, and frightened. I didn't tell until he lied about my little brother. He told the police my brother had stolen from him. Wanted the kid to be sent to juvie, so I wouldn't have him to protect me. THAT made me mad.

Answer 8

Don't think i'd change anything (although there is alot of stuff i'd like to change). Just think that if you changed something you wouldn't turn out to be the same person you are. Life experiences only make you stronger.

Answer 9

Letting an unscrupilous employer get away with breeching a lot of rules, and showing no regard to staff.

Answer 10

I wouldn't have hit my mum!I feel ashamed that I could have done such a dreadful thing every ,moment of my hard life!
