Correcting Mistakes...

I have had time to make several mistakes which have had virtually permanent effects on my later life. '68, '89, '96 come to mind, but like you, I don't wish to give any details. Even the 1968 error still has some residual effects, but naturally the most recent two dates still resound loudly. And also like you, I learned heavy lessons from each one, and there is no way I would repeat any of them. Mind you, at my age it hardly matters anymore. Lash

Oh yes. If I was given the chance to turn back time to correct a mistake then it would be not cutting off all contact with my father after he left home. I severed contact with him for 20 years of my life and I wish I had not done so. Oh I got to tell him I forgave him but I never got to really know him as he was sick by them. I left it too late. I wish I had got to know him. Of all the mistakes in my life that was one. The other mistake I made was believing my mother and I wish I could change that. But then if I did change those things I might not be who I am so I do not know. The price for those lessons were very high. The second one was not a mistake I made consciously though. But I should never have turned my back on my father. I regret to this day not getting to know him before he became sick.

I would have never gotten involved with that "business opportunity" that turned out to be a scam that costed me my job...

I have made a few mistakes, involving and not involving money. All I can tell you is that most nights I can go to sleep, that the past is over and there is no turning back, so I do not think about erasing mistakes but improving myself so I do not make more mistakes.

ususally people say they never regret on what dey did in past ,vene i believe so,,,but there is one mistake if would given a chance i woud like to improve...i actually in my 9th standard thought of getting failed just bcoz i dint like the school and i missed my old school so much so i just thought of dat but i a really regret on my kiddish behaviour... what i did...

If I get a chance to make a change in my past life I would like to change one mistake that is " change the company of particular people during some part of my life". It would automatically change many things in my life. I was not smart to recognise a friend. I used to spend long hours in his company and that changed my thinking style. This was not a change that should have occured in my life. I become a much duller person through his company. His point of view of looking at the life was too wrong and so I also spend long hours thinking like him. I do not want to blame a friend but I just wish that I should not have committed that mistake of spending too long hours with that friend in my childhood, especially in my adolscent age.
