If you could rewind back to when you were first born (has to be all the way) and start over knowing everything you know now, would you?

yes... I would pop out of the womb break dancing and from that day on dedicate my life to the art of break dancing. I would train day and night by spinning myself on a lazy susan dinner table for at least 3 hours at a time while continiously whistling the Andy Griffith theme song and doing ridiculously fast cartwheels one handed. by the age of 5, I hope to hold the record for longest spin on my left pinky finger. by age 10 I would hope to solve world hunger and by able to alter the rotation of the earth due to my tornado like speed in crazy hand spins. By age 25 I will have exploded due to sheer incredibleness, and it wouldn't bother me because I will have thouroughly dominated the entire universe with my awesomeness and would have nothing left to do.

Yes i would. Educationally, I would be more focussed at school on academic work and more tolerant of the teachers, choose to do a PhD rather than an MA at university and stay in academia. Politically, i would get more involved earlier and become active in the Students' Union at university. Socially, i would be more outgoing, change my image earlier, not be so hung up on certain members of the opposite sex and have children later or not at all.
Having said that, having children is fantastic, i've got a really fulfilling job and i recognise the symptoms of a mid-life crisis when i see them. My clients sometimes wish they'd lived a life like mine and i wish my life had been like theirs. Youth is probably always something one wishes one had done differently.

No, but I'll have another start-over in the next life. My main goal is to remember everything then that I know now!
And no, because I did learn lots of wisdoms and grow from this life's adventures :)
Well enough that I don't think I'd take a gamble to see if I could have done better in this life.
I think I'm moving along quite nicely in my studies ~

Hell no i wouldnt. I believe your mistakes make you the person who you are. I love my past even though i have been arrested and jailed. I have been heart broken, I failed and succeeded. I believe its just how life is. Life is hilarious when you look back at everything. If you knoweverthing you know now but you start over you wouldnt not get the same experiences you would just be a person who is cocky and everything. And i would still want to make the same mistakes because i am a better person and i love the stories I have. and i am going to love what comes ahead of me it makes me work harder and be more honest and forth coming to everything

No, but I would like to go back to a certain time and start from there! I've always loved the movie 'Peggy Sue Got Married' and wondered exactly what I would do if I was dropped back into my senior year in high school....somewhere around that point would be cool... :)

No, but I do wish I could go back in time and change stuff around so that the future would be diffrent. I just hope that the change that happend then would not affect the good things that I have in my life now.

if I had to go all the way bak to day 1, and I KNEW what was going to happen, I could change so many things--like betting on games I knew who would win; buying stocks I knew would go up, etc. Since I do not have that money, but would in a different reality, maybe in THAT world, with so many other things changed, maybe you would never have been born. Why take that chance?

In a heart-beat. I feel like I've done nothing but screw up and I'd need a head-start like that just to even out.

No, I wouldn't want to live through all of that again. It would be nice to change a few things, but there are some things you can't change.
