Regretting for not listening to your friends/family's advice?

yes, hoewever, some issues can be solve by own will but an advise from elderly or good friends can be helpful. weigh things first before you jump up to conclusions.

No way, I believe I'm the best judge of my life and its course so I hardly listen to what others have to say except for in matters where others' opinion would be worth the consideration. I don't regret anything, I'm very gifted in this regard, as in I don't brood over the past as my belief in a bright future is undying and I have always taken things in my stride in relatively short span. I might have made mistakes but they have lead me ultimately to the right path so I can't regret them in the bigger picture.

Not really. Many of my family members are in no position to give advice because their lives are completely out of control. I learn by watching my family make one mistake after another.

This brings to my mind the very regrettable decision not to continue with my further studies against the wishes of my very dear teacher. I had graduated with quite good marks and my teacher had wanted my to pick up forms for master degree studies but I was more interested in getting a job and enrolled in vocational training and soon landed a job. However, now I regret that decision…jobs these days in most sectors are so so demanding and stressful but if I had gone ahead and done my masters, I could at least have become a teacher which is much less stressful

We all have moments of regret in our lives. We can all look back on a choice or decision that was unwisely made. There will always be that one person who could have turned your course. Living with regret is just as difficult as not following the right choice.

I have had this happen to me many times where I wish I had listened to my family and friends. They were always right about the men that would come into my life and then things would just get nasty from there and many times I would almost end up homeless due to the stupidity of my young days and well I had to learn from the hard times/ways. Just glad things turned out pretty good.

unsolicited advice? i don't actually regret about that, but today, i look back and told myself that i should have not follow my own decision. when i was going to the technical school for the first time, my dad told me to take up computer technology. but i followed my heart to take electronics. although they are almost of the same field, computer is most advanced and it is more popular, in terms of jobs today. but at that time, computer is just, almost starting to get known. i finished my course but then, today i am not practicing it, but computer related work is where i am now. no regrets, because i already practiced electronics, for almost or over 10 years too. i planned to get a short computer course next year, just to get a certification, to at least say that i went to a computer school. i guess i don't really need to have it, just for at least i can have something to add on my personal data information.

Hello again my bonita mia...I guess this is the result of what I've just replied. Is this some kind of "learn from your experience" or something you regretted should you just listen from some other advises? Well, back to your question..definitely YES...I had so many experience about this but no regret.. But, to keep away the blaming, I would prefer to keep it on myself never telling the one who advised that I failed my decisions... I don't mind if she/he know it in the long run.... Better luck next time my bonita mia.... Mobhomeir

hello there, If there is one advice that i have deeply regret and never mentioned it to any one was my eldest brother's advice. that was getting a job early as possible, which i didn't, i couldn't tell him how regretful i was because i don't want to have him take his time to find me a job,like what he did before. i know it's too late and i promised mom that i will apply next year since this month is impossible.

hi jaiho...i faced such couple of problems in my life but never my parents r involved in it but it ws my best frnd who was involved. She suggested to leave someone whom i trusted more than her. I dint hear her and cntinued my frndship with him but later i realized that she was right at making d decision about leaving the fella. Now i got to know that she is very keen about my wellbeing so i did it as she wished.
