What would you do differently?
Is there anything that you now think "Oh, I wish I'd have thought of that when I was younger" because you know that you will never have the opportunity to do it now or ever?
Me .....
I wish I'd have realised the importance of education way back when rather than studying later on.
I wish that I had done more travelling in my youth. Something abroad in an animal sanctuary or something, voluntary work or a bit of this and a bit of that, a working holiday, youth hostels and no ties. I will never have that opportunity now with work/family commitments :sad:
Your turn!!
If I didn't seek a higher paid job as soon as I finished my apprenticeship I could have been granted freeman of the city. With all the ancient traditions that would grant me.
As my career has now greatly changed, the chances of gaining this status is highly unlikely.
I failed 2 modules in the 2nd year at Uni - it meant I couldn't do the Honours degree. I would retake them in the summer rather than add them to the final year. No-one told me the difference between an ordinary degree and an honours degree was about £5000 23 years ago!
I would also have stood my ground with my ex far earlier and far stronger. He mentally wore me down to an apologetic mouse before I walked.
'je regrette rien!'. I thought about this initial post, brilliant idea, and then wondered what I'd change. Thing is that whatever I'd choose to do differently had consequences that I wouldn't want to happen. I'd love to have done a postgrad course, but if I had wouldn't have ended up with the family, had children etc.
Can I just cut down the booze intake? My wine bill would pay for a bentley within a year.
Moi aussi. Non, Je ne regrette rien
I hum every day or it at least bounces around in my consciousness.
I regret nothing.
To regret my past would be to regret my children....I couldn't...I always did what I wanted to do, good or bad, with no ill wishes for others. I might, knowing what I know now, have become a hooker aged 39 instead of 59, but wtf, that's life, live it and enjoy it.
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
So no... regret nothing... deny everything :twisted:
The only real regrets I have are the things I didn't do. ( Though my liver would have liked me to drink a bit less in my student days ).
I wish I'd done the same things but earlier so I could have done it more lol.
they did nothing wrong they only tried to guide me in the way they thought was right but it was just never going to work for me. I have never been a traditional thinker and as I did not have the ability or financial capacity to do things I wanted to do I rebelled and did well all the rebellious stuff
