do differently? I know some people like to go back in time when they wish they could turn back the time and go back to make their experience more memorable or do more achievement which they fail to do at the present times. Some like to go back and try to make up or change the course of their current situation. While some just accpet it or do it the different way. if you were given the chance to go back in time and would you like to do that would makes you do differently?

i have many mistakes in the past and those are the worst is the one i like to rectify.especially those humiliating experience and up to now i could not forget it. but they are little mistakes which i do not want to change because i learn a lot from them. even though it hurt it taught me a lesson. those mistakes in the past is like a ghost to me and haints me so likely i like to reverse those situation.

yes everyone have mistakes that is we all are human and not perfect so failure is experience. we just need to accept it and through it we learn something based from experience the next time we encounter the same things. we already know the strategy to use so it would not end as a failure.

i like to make an effort to make things better than what i get used now days, those i experience in the past have etched some good and bad memory. so if given the chance i would like to change those situation where i get no success and have more time to get what i want. if given the chance i would avoid those people who teat me wrong so they woul be completely erase on my mind.

yes i know everyone have the same desire and just like other wish they like to make correction or avoid the situation to commit mistakes that it become a bad memory. though it is a bad experience it taught you a lesson which could make you more wiser and if ever encounter the same things you could already know how to deal with it.

I really wish I will go back to the time I was college. Be great in everything I do, from academic to sports to choir. I wish I can bring back the time of my graduation and I have money for review center so that I can take my board exam and have my licensed at the age of 21. Maybe I am in different field right now, or maybe I am not here in Mylot posting. However, If I change even one thing in the past, I know everything i have at present will get affected so I rather stay on what happened in the past. I still improve my present and give a big change for my future.

well that is a good look at the past and their may be egret but the experience you already have gone through mold you to become a person at present. it is still not yet too late and your reflection of the past remembering those you plan to change may still be obtain through perseverance. i believe you could do it.

If I can go back in time, I would probably try to become a more understanding, considerate, obedient child to my parents. I would try to be more respectful and kind to them. I wasnt that bad as a kid but I know i could have behaved better. But there are things in life that you can only learn and understand after you've experienced it. Sometimes, you become good only after you behaved wickedly and realized it isnt worth it.

that's good your becoming more sensitive to your parents on how you should treat them better which is a sign that you are willing to make your parents happy. becoming more concern and behaving well and very sure your parents would be proud of you. you do not need to be perfect and some children really act that way for being mischievous that part of childhood.

I wish I really had more time to play when I was a child.I've been so focused on my studies that I haven't really enjoyed it as normal kids do.

so sad to know you never had given plenty of time to enjoy childhood. not everyone have given enough privilege through the case of some parents who are strict and they motivate their child to work early or do things they like. so the children get not enough time to spend playing and enjoy the beauty of childhood.if you are already a parents based from your experience you could permit your child to enjoy their childhood.

I surely want to go back in time but not to change anything that I've done. What I want is to relive all the memories of my past. Life is unpredictable. Decisions that we think is right maybe wrong another time. For me, everything that happens in the past is just a step that we need to take for us to be where we are now. We maybe hurt but pain is just a spice that makes life enjoyable. We won't know how to be happy if we don't feel sad. Appreciate life and live it with no regret. Now, that's what I'm trying to do.

yes like the back in the future go back and watch what your doing during those time. especially good memory and reflect and those thoughts makes you think. like what you say life is unpredictable and so will be to be ready to accept whatever the result of our action or whatever we gain from experience. through it we learn acceptance of all things that happen making you more a stronger person.

If I could go back in time, I would do my best not to bring children into this world. The world is not a very good place to raise a child anymore and alot of times, no matter how you raise your child, they get into corrupted activity and they seem to not want to change either.

well writing makes the dull mind becomes active so it is a good choice. through writing we could express ideas which we could not say in reality. also writing makes use improve comprehension and gather ideas and be inspire to be read by other people. in that way they know you are capable of writing good ideas.

I wish that I joined the school paper when I should have. The teacher moderating the organization was scary. I was late and didn't know what to do. She might have bitten my head off. I would have learned about journalism and took journalism in college and would have been a full time writer or learned about the process of publishing and production so that right now, I could have all the chops to work for Penguin or something like that. Not that I'm at a total loss anyway. I helped start a publishing company a few years ago. If I had the proper know how, things would have run smoothly. The company still exists though. I just wished that I knew how to do it right.

well that a lot of regret, though it taught you a lesson and if given a chance you could pursue your interest. in case it is not yet too late you could still renew it as long as your interest is still there within you. yes experience could make us learn a lot and improve our knowledge on things we like to do and be successful on it. though you seem at loss i just hope you still pursue your interest if given another opportunity.

I'm might change some mistake I've made before. Mistake that almost change my whole life now. But that's impossible, so accepting the fact that's you made a mistake before will make you feel better and try to learn from that.
