What is the dumbest thing you've ever done?

Yes I think in one way or the other we constantly make some dumb decisions which later on gets corrected when we started learning from them. I've had one dumb decision which happened 2 years ago. I chose a different job (far from my course) which I needed to complete in 6 months time. Later on I find out that I shouldn't have accepted the job because it actually slower down the process of an employment for the job which I really should have been in to. But then again, that dumb decision was right after all because the company that I am working now makes me happy, fulfilled and satisfied. ;)

Every instance in life provides some new learning/s or the other. Humans err knowingly and unknowingly and those errors generally teach something of value. What may seem dumb today, may turn out to be a wise decision tomorrow, and what seems right, may turn out to be dumb, and this goes on and on, until that human is alive. What may turn out to be good for me, may harm someone else, what is good for others may be harmful to me and mine. For me it'd be pretty difficult to tie down one particular action or inaction that was dumb, or one particular action or inaction that was the wisest/best. Time, the observer will be the best judge of my actions, probably even I may not be able to determine what was really good or really bad in my life......

citychic my dumb decision was to give in and go for a b a in english in myfifties when what I wanted to do was get a degree in library science instead.I regretted it at once and still do but now I am too old to really care, but it would have enabled me to work as a refernce librarian not as a poorly paid page.so we live and we learn sometimes too late,too.

yes, i have made a dumb decision or u can tell it as a nasty decision or serious mistake which i ever made in my life, when i was studying 3rd year in college, i failed in a subject in the 4th semester, due to wrong evaluation of the paper, i was my class representative during that period, but when i got the semester results, i was asked to step down by my own buddy, but i did not think like that...and i dont wanna continue with an unfinished paper of the previous semester, so i decided to step down, actually i was forced to do so...i stepped down, but later revaluation results came and i cleared that paper....but i lost my post, which i loved the most...many people were giving much respect to me when i was in the post, but everybody now showing their back, even my best or close friends were supporting my rival, that is the person who asked me to step down, 'cause he wanted to get to that post....now i feel that i have lost my pride..i was cornered in all positions...i was not given a single chance in any matter..even they divided some groups, but that buddy who asked me to step down, did not consider my sacrifice to him, he ignored me... now i feel very shame to walk in the corridors of my college, any way now i am in the final year , we are gonna see each other for next 4-5 months... but one day he will recognise the mistake .... this is the decision or dumb decision which i ever made.. later i decided not to have many friends outside ..so i concentrated in the virtual world of computers and internet.. happy to respond.. happy mylotting..
