Travel back in time

[Andre]

Yeah some good points, Im not sure cutting the journey short by going back and telling yourself which way the wind actually blows is a good idea. It may equal zero inner growth.

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.

I've heard that alot from old school buds, about College and all. All I know is I wasted alot of time wasting time . Those are your prime yrs, ya cannot get them back.

After a year in college I realized that everything I thought I wanted to do upon graduating high school was garbage. The idea of college education = success kept me plugging along for 5 years being highly unmotivated. I had a lot of fun but I could have had the same fun and have been doing something constructive. I've done a better job educating myself since I finished school than a professor ever could.

Same here.

I wish I had taken a year out instead of being churned into the university machine. I let myself down and really dismantled in my final year. 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.

Time travel is all it would take to appear as what most think of as God like.You could fix so much shit.

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.

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.
