what in your life do you wish you could change or not? what do you wish you knew when you were younger that you know now and what advice would you give if you could meet a younger version of you?

Absolutely nothing because only by making mistakes that you'd learn not to make them again and I definitely don't want to make all their mistakes again uh oh

Very true. All the bumps along the way have moulded me into the person I am today, and I'm happy with that. Although it would be nice to change some actions of others though. But I can't control that roll eyes

Strangely enough I wouldn't change the past because I learnt things now - to me it's all got do with the learning curve of life... I'm just glad to be here at this point of time with the wisdom I have gained....


because second time around is definetly more fun and now I have the knowledge, courage, and confidence to jump from the highest mountain without a safety net...

They reckon regrets are bad for us ,but i have to say i have a few ,{only human i suppose }

Had a job for over 30 yrs wich i loved etc , worked a 15 hour day wich i never complained about and couldnt waite for Monday morning to come ,loved every minute ,,

But it never put much money in my pocket .

Maybe next time i"ll get a job were i can look out an office window all day and get paid 5 times as much ,

But maybe not .

cheers

I would not change a thing!
I lived a good life thus far was lucky in many aspects of life.
Worked all my life and now enjoying it relaxed and settled.
So for me its all good.
Never regretted anything, always had good friends.
Still have them after more than 30yrs without a cross word..
Health was a bit iffy at times, but hey ho we have to go
through what we have to and get on with things.
hug yay

You have Aspergers. A none verbal body language disorder [thus you will never understand women, no matter how hard you try! So don't waste your life on that.] Look at ways and means to legally make a lot of money before you reach age 25.

Travel the world, have fun, don't take life too seriously. Don't be complacent. Don't suffer fools gladly. Invest in your own home. Take out a private pension. Don't drop out [of society]. Believe in yourself.

I wish I had known 30 yrs ago how much I would love working with sheep and training sheep dogs .... I would have done it a lot sooner ... the last 12 years doing this have been fantastic.
Apart from that I dont have any regrets .. I seldom look back, I am too busy leaping into the future lol
