Thats a very interesting question... The answer is very hard to say though... I have a saying to some of my friends and aquaintences that have finally started turning their lives around but are conflicted and confused... I tell them "It has taken everything in your life to get you where you are today... Its now up to you where you go from here". So with that being said would those change effect others negatively... Would my Daughters still be born... Would they still be healthy... And what about my Grand kids... I have so many regrets... A pile more than most... But honestly if I had the chance to chang them I could'nt if it meant losing any of my family...

This set me thinking. Yes, there was this particular defined moment in my life which changed my life completely. I was madly in love with a guy and built my dreams around him. I was at an age when u throw caution to the wind and think your life will be beautiful ahead. Then this guy dumped me. And reality hit me very hard. From that moment my life changed dramatically. I became a successful professional, married on my own, have a family now and quite settled. Now if I have to go back and changed that moment, I mean, if things went smoothly and I did get to marry that guy, live my life with him and his family, built my dreams around him, I wouldn't probably been so successful. But I definitely would have been happier, since I never loved anyone like that after that. So it's a chance I don't mind taking. I have tasted success, I know what it can give you. But I have never tasted happiness, what is it to wake up in the arms of the person you love or to fall asleep in his arms on a Sunday afternoon watching TV. :))

Yes i will do that since i am not in all happy with my current situation. If i can choose i will change the day i started playing online games and not get myself addicted into it, wasted alot of my time there. But on the other hand i won't become a user of mylot too.

If I could choose to go back to any time, I think that I would go back to when I was choosing which university I was going to go to when I got to the end of my A Levels. I chose one that I didn't have to work all that hard for because I was worried about how much work I would have to do to go to a better one. I wish that I had worked harder and believed in myself, because I would be feeling a lot better about everything now if I was getting a better degree from a better university, as I think that I might struggle to get a job if they knew which university I went to.

Hello there. This is an interesting and difficult question to answer. But for me, I don't think I would choose to go back in time. Because I just don't know what might happen in the future of the altered time. Well, I can make assumption but just how much of my assumption will come true in the long run? Plus, I also believe that what had happened in the past is the best for me. Maybe not in the short term but in the long term. I always believe that. So for now, I aim for the best in my future while fulfilling my present time. Cause there's a saying said "The past is a history, the future is a mystery. But the present is a gift. That's why it is called present."

This is a tricky question... I have one moment in my life when I failed to take a decision. I was abroad with my husband and the situation in my country was confused. I had the feeling that we should stay where we were and try to begin a new life. My husband wanted to turn back, he has plans for his work. Two years later he got in a storm at sea with his windsurf and he didn't survive. I still blame myself that I was not strong enough to insist and make him stay in that foreign country. This would have saved his life. But what could happen with us in this hypothetical future? Nobody knows whether it's good to try and change your destiny.
