If you could go back in time and advise yourself to do something differently what age would you go back to and what would you say?
I would go back to when I was 16 and advised myself to treat my first true girlfriend with more respect. I did not act like a gentleman not because I was mean but because I did not understand what being in a relationship was about.
I would also say to myself take better care of my knees when I played football.
Good thread idea! I'm only 18 so I don't have any real big regrets I can think of I'm sure there's plenty to come...;D I'd have to say work harder for my A-levels two D's and a U was pretty poo!Quote:

I fucked up bad à few years ago durring halloweeen! I was really mean to a girl and did not understand it til a month later.
And if i should do something or say sorry or anything it will just be awkward and weird! Shes over it now I guess but I still thinks about it! It wasn't anything gross or a rape or anything,
Shit I posted in my blog any idea how I remove it! Can't do it I guess? Shit happens a tuesday night!
I went back in Saddo time and deleted it for you.Quote:

Plus I would have moved on a teacher in grade 2.
You are right Andre but I screwed my knee up at 21 and I could have played at a good level so I would have told myself not to play that particular match. :)
There is one girl I should have told my feelings about, she was beautiful but I am happy now so probably glad I did not.
I'd send the now me back to the 18 yr old me with the bad hair cut and chip on the shoulder and kick my own ass, twice.
Stay in school, finish College and hug the family much more often. Keep it simple.
I wasted a lot of time and money going to college right our of highschool. I'd advise myself to do something different.
The opposite of Spicoli? Very interesting. :)Quote:

Imagine just taking something as simple as a few Bic lighters back to the dark ages, that 1 dollar item could have you running the whole show. Well a tazer or a machine gun would do it easier, but a lighter would get you voted in.;D
I could give myself all the advice and knowledge I have now to my younger self, but the problem is my younger self wouldn't listen or understand. Some things you just have to experience to learn from.
Just reminded me about back t the future and giving that bully the book of who won all the sporting events.Quote:

I've done a better job educating myself since I finished school than a professor ever could.
Same here.Quote:

Instead of upping the tempo of my studies, I was trying to earn money and was spending it on decadence. In the end it was all a waste. The only thing my degree gave me was the opportunity to move overseas.
My MA result was the product of me deciding to make amends and show that I was much better than my younger self. The results showed it. At the end of the day a professor can only do so much with the students available to him/her. If a student is unmotivated then they aren't going to learn well. At the same time though you have to make an effort to engage and I think a lot of so called academics are pretty poor teachers. They can write papers, but they know little about spicing a lesson up to get at least something fruitful going. It's a double edged sword.
Asides from my initial studies, I don't think I have any real regrets. Everything has got to this point and for better or for worse I am where I am today. I grumble, but I have life pretty much sorted. My work is the best it has ever been, I am comfortable, have a thin beautiful wife and don't work for almost half the year. I am my own worst enemy and have a few demons, but that is a work in progress. It's all okay really.
I would go back and make sure Master's parents never met so he could be erased from existence.
To be certain I would keep coming back here until all his pathetic posts faded out.
I would go back in time and trip you up as you tried to emulate Rocky in your avatar and hope you fell and broke your neck. :)Quote:

You would need to go back a long time in the past when you were fit and at your peak say about 25-30 years ago and even then you would lose. :)Quote:
