Have you ever think that you should have done things but you haven't done it yet? well.. People will usually regret it for the rest of their lives...
BUT it's really "never too late" to do anything. Actually its better late than never.
"If you don't get your act together, it is going to be too late" that's one of my friend's exact words...
How many of you had this experience before?
Anyone mind sharing your regrets or thoughts of doing things that you think you might be TOO old for this?
Or maybe the fact that you had this lecture before and you did something about it which may help each other to realize the importance of these words?

I like to hold on to the statement 'It's never too late'. I used to live in a world of regrets or "what if", but I realized it didn't do me anything good. Sometimes, there is no sense in coming back because there's no way to redeem lost time and lost opportunities. I remember a statement which goes something like this: The past is no longer here and the future is yet to come, so why not focus on the present because it is which is here. Sometimes, I feel that time is running out, but I do hear stories of people who are able to recover and get back on their feet, so I am inspired to fulfill the things that I was supposed to do in the past.

Sometimes we get into too much of a hurry. before we we know it, life is passing us by. All we can think about is the things we meant to do but never did. I would like to believe that it would never be too late to accomplish our dreams.

You are right that it is never too late. That is actually the reason that I am working on rebuilding a relationship with a friend of mine that I've lost touch with for several years. I don't want to have a lot of regrets in my life and to date the regrets that I do have in my life is the fact that I've lost contact with people that I've never wanted to lose touch with. I think that all people need to keep in mind the fact that they can accomplish the things that they want to do in their lives.

The mother of a friend has just obtained the driving licence,which is quite aa achiwevement since she is 64 years old;she had this ambition and managed to fulfill her desire.I also know people who graduated university afetr the age of 50;it's obvoius that these people felt that it's never too late to do something you reallyb dreamt of,but couldn't earlier.They had the ambition and succeeded and I admire them for that;I also have the feeling that there are still many things I haven't accomplished yet and I have some regrets,but I trey to look forward and accomplish some of those ideals in the future.

As long as we are alive, we are given the opportunity to the things we want to do and we should do so it is really never too late to start.

"Actually its better late than never" you are right xxj3ffxx.We should do everything we want to do because if we ask us -no i won't do that because i do not want what will happen later... so we will lose many things or if we don't try we can't know what would happen if we had tried.So,my advise is to try or do everything you want despite of the risk...because when we make false we learn how to be better or we improve our skills :)

I believe with that phrase, "It's never too late". People who thinks that there is no chance or that it is already late to correct a mistake are those who are pessimist and who doesn't know or afraid to take risks.
I was in that situation and I have thought that I can still correct my mistake. As long as you live, it is never too late.

Maybe we had done something wrong before, but if you keep regreting it, it will just make your feeling about the mistake worse.
So my idea is don't be regret about what you did before. Focus on the life you are having now.And get the experience from before. Then you can avoid to make the same mistake in the future.
