What Do You Know today that you wish you knew ten years ago?

If i had known that a friend would die at a young age, i would have spent time in knowing him better and understanding him. I could have helped him renew his ways and change his heart. Maybe his destiny could have changed if i was there to be a true friend to him.

Going back to ten years, I had a great wish that was to leave my first working place and make my fortune in another place which was much more developed and I did find a job in the place where I wished to work. Now I have been working here for ten years without having the desire to move on as I am content with my pay here compared with the pay from the previous working place. I still remember when I made my decision to leave the previous place, I said to my colleagues that I would leave for a better-paid working place if my salary could be triple than that. And I did succeed. The urge of moving from one place to another was mainly the cause of desiring to get a real apartment of my own and improve my life quality. Now I am proud to say that this wish or dream of mine has been realised. It was realized after I left my previous working unit five years later or five years ago dating back from now. I have got two of my own apartments, one for my old parents and one for my own family. In short, to make a wish, we need to carry it our in real action without just waiting for chances to fall on us but to look for an opportunity actively. This is my humble view. Thanks for your nice discussion and I enjoy it very much.

I would have wanted to know about the danger of trans fat, but it should have said what I wish I knew forty years ago. I wish I knew how to budget when my commissions from my telemarketing got low and how to save money better, what not to buy, etc. I wish I had found the true church then instead of doing all that looking. There are so many things, like how to clean this and that.

I wish that I would have known how to prepare my daughter for surviving on her own. She is almost 20 and has her own child. She is doing good, but still depending on me way too much. I am in a new relationship (4 years), and it is hard for me to handle this with my daughter.

I could have saved myself a lot of heartache if I had known how to be the kind of friend that I am learning to be now. I want to look back and say, what if, but I know that everything happens or doesn't happen for a reason.

Ten years ago I wish I knew how to give importance to my life and how to be thankful in the things that I have. Coz not all are lucky to have chances to make their life be more comfortable. I wish I was mateur enough to make and do the right decision ten years ago.

I wish I knew that avoiding is a good reason not to have heart aches. Lol anyway I have too many regrets in my life right now. I wish I knew too as to what was right and wrong.

I wish I knew the value of higher education, the difficulties and heartache of single parenthood, and how to ignore certain family members. I don't think I would have changed anything. If I had stayed in college the first time, I would not have had my beautiful little boy, nor would I have moved and met the love of my life. The difficulties of singleparenthood are many, but so are the joys and the kisses. Although ignoring family members still holds, lol. There are just some people no one should have to listen to. Blessed Be

Nothing. Because life today wouldn't be what it is today had I known these things. Granted life isn't perfect, but that's not to say it would have been perfect otherwise either. I think the one thing I would have liked to have done...was actually going to college after graduating. But at the same time because I didn't do that I had a lot of fun traveling and stuff. I just don't think it would be beneficial to who we are now to have known something before.

What do I wish I knew ten years ago that I know now? Well, a lot of things first of all. Mainly I would simply wish to know that LIFE GOES ON. No matter what happens to you, life will go on and you must stay constant. Whether it be the most humiliating and worst day of your life or it the best, most memorable day of your life, tomorrow will always come, and the next day, and so on. You can revel in a moment for what seems like a lifetime, but that moment will end and you will have to deal with what comes afterward. Consequences, pride, determination: life goes on.
