i will not change anything in my life. coz i know, when i change something back in time, i might regret it in the future. i am facing life's hard challenges right now, and going back to time to change it is giving up from it..i will never give up.^_^

Being almost 1/2 of 100. There are so many things.
1.start putting money into a retirement plan when I first started working.
2. taken better care of my teeth, I don't have the greatest smile.
3.Listen when someone told me to wear a condom.
4. Stay out of an abortion clinic,you don't know how this still wears on my mind.
5.Go to college. It didn't hurt so bad until now. There have been several jobs that I couldn't get for not having a degree.
6.Buying new cars. I have lost track of the money I have spent on news cars(BMW was the best),yet I still rent my living space.
7. not staying active in church. I know its not for everyone but it can really be and eye opener.
Best Thing:My wife and family,wouldn't trade them for Kobe or Alex or this weeks powerball lol

My life made me who I am today....cliche? of course, but going back to some point and altering some aspect out of my present egoic state would mean that, however slight the difference, every single moment after that would change. And so much of my own path has revealed wonders I'd never have been able to dream-up or make-up if I'd tried! Life is amazing. So, no, I wouldn't be tempted to go back and change something....even though I'd love to have made sure that when my Dad left, I'd have got him to let me know where he'd always be, to keep in touch, so I didn't have to find out he'd died 7 years after the fact just because my mother made it impossible for him to contact me. Heartbreak always wants us to go back and make it better, but heartbreak is an essential suffering that we need becasue it opens the heart to let in more life (light).

Learning from the past is part of growing and developing. This is a healthy way to progress through life.
However I believe there is a risk if we focus too much on what has already occurred - in a negative way. This is especially so if one wishes to significantly alter what has already happened. Effectively one would be living with regrets.
Live it, learn from it - making changes where necessary for the current/future situation - then face the future with enthusiasm.

Anything we talk is by thinking that you are the body.Body has it's own limitations & it can't go to the past or the future. Mind can go& that is the thinking process, we keep thinking about the past & that is going back.But about making changes can only be imaginations.Can imagine anything you wish.I don't want to imagine which we are uncapable of doing. That will only be a day dreaming.

I would change a whole slew of things. Because I've already learnt from those stupid, dumb, irreverent, asinine, cruel, mistakes I've made in my life I don't have to do them again and what I have now for a life would be a lot different.
Trust me....life would be infinitely different not just for me but for my siblings.

Every aspect of our lives shapes the way we develop as individuals. To change, or regret, any aspect of our choices is to detract from the person we are today. While that may seem appealing to some, it can also be said that things could have turned out worse. So despite the regrets we have, we should be thankful that we have made the choices that we have, and that things are not as desperate as they could be.

No. Changing the past for the purpose of altering the present would be selfish and could have disastrous effects on circumstances you did not intend to alter.

Yes, I would most certainly change the family I was born into.
I would pick a very rich, old and established family, rather than the relatively poor one I was born into.
