Hi emediloy,
Thank you for this topic, it is really meaningful.
I don't know if everyone makes the wrong choice in his/her life, but for me, I should say, yes, I made many wrong choices in the past of my life, even I am not sure if my decision is right until now for some choices.
Why? Coz we face variety of problems everyday, we face the choices everyday, when we are young, or when we are not practiced, we don't know which to choice, you just can judge the thing by your feeling. Sometimes you right, sometimes wrong. Maybe that is also the fate, but once you decided, just face the consequence, no matter it is good or bad. face it bravely, no big deal.
Also, we d better asking our friends or families before the choice.
Thank you.

For me, it would have to be my first boyfriend in college. Looking back, that relationship was a mistake and I could have spared myself from the pain and heartbreak I had to endure after the relationship ended. I guess I was still idealistic and a hopeless romantic during that time and was blinded by my love for him. I failed to see that he wasn't worth my love, time, and attention because I gave him so many chances after he did me wrong over and over again. Although I have long since moved on, I sometimes wish that relationship never had happened and that I just waited for someone better and worthier of my love.

I think every people have done their own mistakes in their life. No body is perfect and every body is sinful. But of course we can minimizing the mistakes by learning from others' experiences. That's why we need to have many friends, sharing as many as to our friends about our problem when we think we are on our maximum capacity and ability to solving a problem. And we also need to read as many as books and learn as many as good things. The most important one is we must always praying for the protection from The God. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

There were numerous mistakes I made, and I deeply regret with my whole life, not only waste of my precious time, I also waste tons of money for something I don't even get. It was just my fantasy I guess. I don't want to mention it anymore, and I am still living with my regrets.

my biggest mistake was a wrong girl.... i fell for a wrong girl and almost screwed up my life because of this.... i wasted a good 18 months though... then i realised that we were not compatible and probably would not last in the long run.... fighting over petty issues , not wanting to actually talk to each other... love was lost between us.... so one day we decided to correct this mistake... and we are much happier now....

Flaws... It's the most common human trait. We all have them, and I know that I certainly do. I've been wrong and I've made mistakes plenty of times; however, it's help mold me to be the person I am. Their are some mistakes are wrongs that live deeper in my heart than others. Some are shallow enough for me to be able to forget in a short amount of times, while others are deeper than I can actually reach. But, it seems more like you are living in regret, which, to me, is a big negative. I refuse to allow myself to be regretful of a decision I once made, simply because at one point it's exactly what I wanted to do. I'm a different person now, and I've learned from what I've done wrong and moved on with my life. Don't dwell on the mistakes you've made because you're only hindering your future. Confront the problem when it arises and move forward. Take it with a grain of salt basically. Yes, you may have gotten a low grade, but you did pass am I right? There are people who flat out failed what you've accomplished and wish they could have passed, even if it was by the skin of their teeth. So look at the glass half full rather than half empty, it makes all the difference.

I believe that everyone makes mistake and wrong choices in life. Like you, I went to college and did a degree thinking that when i graduate i could find a job. I later found out that you need a master, So i did that too guess what, I have a job not in my major or in my masters. Right now, I am just telling myself it is a job and that other people don't have one. Mistakes happens and most of the time it is a good rememberance for us not to do it again. Always think twice before you do something making sure it is the right decision.

We all make mistakes and wrong choices. To me, I look at the brighter side of it. If I did not make any mistake, I will never learn much :) But I do not regret anything in my life even if what I did is a "mistake" or "wrong choice". I am glad that from them I grow as a better person. We might have mistakes but there are lots of OPTIONS too. Never too late for anything! The only permanent thing in life is "CHANGE". As long as you are here & alive, you can always put everything in the right place. :)

yes, everybody does.I had a wrong choice when I decided to give up my work in another country, and just go back home with no big savings.
I had a big mistake again, when I decided not to go back abroad and just stay home to take care of my son., now i regret for it is a wrong choice.
Yes, I have a lot of frustration in life, sometimes I wish If only I can turn back times,to fix everything that been broke, my dreams , my everything in the past, but I cant. Now, i am living not so happy, but I am thankful because I have my son who's keeping me alive and strong.
