If you could change one thing that you did in your life, what would it be?

There's honestly nothing I would change. I am very happy with how my life turned out, and I realize even the mistakes I made were part of what got me here now. I would however go back to experience some moments again, to pay more attention this time or to take more pictures. I'd recognize better how short my children's childhoods are, that before I knew it they'd be grown-up and going out on their own. Same experiences, not changing anything just savoring it more this time around.

That's awesome that you are so content with your life. I think it is also great advice! I need to start savoring the precious moments in life. Thanks for you response.

i hope i could change a father~~~ however, "If you could change one thing that you did in your life..." i have never chosen my father, so it doesn't suit the question~~ i hope i could change the relationship between my father and me

If there were one thing I could change, I think it would be my education. I would have gone for business like my dad wanted me to instead of going for nursing (which I flunked out of). I just recently completed a BS in Management with emphasis in human resource management. I will be trying to find a job in that field as soon as I complete my contract with my current school. I don't have any experience in that field, but maybe the fact that I have M.Ed. and have been teaching English for two years might help me get a job as a corporate trainer or something. I would also not spend so much time in low-paying jobs that got me nowhere in the last 30 years. I should be ready to retire from one career and starting another instead of just starting my first. That is what I would change.
