Thank God for second chances - that's all I can tell you.  |
I think everyone should regret just about everything from the 80s except the music. :p
As for myself ... I regret:
- Not pushing myself harder on the tennis court in high school. I took my talent for granted and let myself get too wrapped up in that contemporary ideology of "not taking things too seriously" during adolescence. I had the opportunity to go to the top in college, and I blew it because I thought it wasn't worth the effort. How much wasted time I spent during my learning years.
- Buying a Dell computer.
- Wasting too much of my life worrying about other people and what they think of me. Can't imagine how many decisions, choices, dilemmas would have gone over much easier and much better had I simply gone with what I believed to be what I truly wanted. Peer pressure is a bitch.
- Doing drugs. Nothing else in my life (except girls) has taken away from any sort of productivity that I pretend to have. It's a vicious thing too, because it's hard to get away once you've taken the plunge.
