And how do you think it would have changed things now.

If you go back in time and change one moment in time, then everything that happens from that single moment also changes. And everything that happens from that new moment also changes. And so forth and so on. How can any of us predict what would have happened if we made a different choice at that exact moment? How do you know that if you made that "perfect choice" back then, that you would not have been hit by a drunken bus driver 10 seconds later? Maybe life is just random chaos, and maybe life has it's own Master Plan for all of us. It might be a good thing to appreciate just being alive. Appreciate what we have no matter how little we think we have. Life is awesome, and maybe we all should do everything we can to help other people and try to be happy no matter what the F*c* life throws at us. We all are going to end up dead and six-feet-under at some point. Rich, famous, gorgeous, athletic, overweight, underweight, popular, unpopular, whatever. Everyone on this God Given Earth is in the same boat and we all will answer to God, Alla, Muhammad , Buddha, or whatever you want to call the
'Great Creator Spirit" (as us Native American Chippewa's call Gichi-Manidoo ). So don't waste any time even thinking about what we could have changed in the past. Let's all just think about what we can change in the FUTURE!!!
Peace Out,
Alan

I agree with the poster who wrote about "The Butterfly Effect."
I read an interview with Sir Ben Kingsley in TIME Magazine today. Sir Ben was asked the same question, and he replied that changing even one molecule of his being would change all of the success he has had. I agree with Sir Ben; I would not change a thing about myself.
The only thing I would want to change would be for me to go back to 1 August, 2005, and keep my partner home with me. That is the day he passed away from a heart attack. I would have rather had him home with me and tried to do something about it. Even if the inevitable happened and he passed away anyway, at least he would have passed in my arms.

If I will have the power to go back in time I'll never changeanything in my life and that's because I'm proud of what I've done till now, my past made me the way I am today and changing the past will change my picture today for sure, so I'll never change anything.

i cannot change the past no matter how much i want it to be different.i learn the hard way that everything in life happens for a reason and i have to accept it as it is.there was a reason ,only i haven't understood it just yet...i know that whatever had happened was to make me a better person if not try to be one now...
i now know what i did not know back then ,that i am better off as i am today because of what happened yesterday...
the truth does hurt but it shows you your path in life

there are hundreds of things i would have wanted to change, like i should have been more friendly, more outgoing more like this and that with people perhaps i wouldnt be such a loner, but all in all whenever i try to see things in their own perspective and doing i do begin to see i dont have to change them ,though i still have possibilities.and that i could do something correct right now, i dont want to mess with time.

Instead of Journalism & English...
I would have majored in "Music..."
And I wouldn't have used one of my upper division electives to study "Philosophy: Logic 101..."
That class really messed me up...
...'cause now (using the logic equations taught in that class) I have "proof" that Planet Earth is mostly filled with people that make Gomer Pyle and Forrest Gump look like friggin' geniuses...!!!
I liked it better when I was just "guessing..."

Be a better listener.
Being more aware of people, ideas, etc. would make me more considerate, a better friend, more informed, less self-absorbed, ... or the effect would be ENORMOUS! Great question. I should give this some more thought.

I would give myself a book that tells me all the sporting results for the next twenty years and make myself rich

I would change my eating habits.
I would be 80 pounds thinner, feel better about myself and be married to Orlando Bloom.
