If you had the time to go back in time and change that one thing that you still regret. What would that be ? For me, personally i always wanted to be a cricketer (a famous sports game in some countries ) Americans might not be aware of it but yeah, I always wanted to be a cricketer and represent my country on a national level. I was a good player, even my coach had told me once that if you played like this, you would be able to make into the team in no time but my parents wouldn't let me as they wanted to be either be an engineer or a doctor. So, i left my dream and went on to become an engineer. This is one thing i would like to change if i had the time and chance to go back in time.

I would have wanted to learn to play an instrument in middle school. I often go back to the day with one of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Lau, our music teacher. She was bigger than life, fun classes and the day she asked all interested in learning to play an instrument ...I to my regret, did not choose an instrument and was in the section of those who do not want to learn an instrument.

I don't have regrets in life, just learning experiences that have brought me to where I am now. To change one thing or another througout time would perspectively change who we are now....and well I like me lol

Personally, I think what I am today is because of the things that happened in the past , irrespective of whether they were good or bad for me... I have made terrible decisions but again, I am here doing what I do because of them.....

@Rationalwriter exactly, and this regret many have is where depression has taken hold in their lives, I feel we must be grateful for everything we go through and experience. We must learn from these experiences good or bad to become better human beings, to fulfill our true potential and purpose in life.

I would have liked to be a famous singer or sprinter - but even if I went back in time I would be able to do neither.
