Hello Mylotters! Here is an interesting question.. If you could start all over in life, How would you plan it to be? We all make mistakes right, nobody is perfect and at a certain point in our life, we do think how our life would have been if we haven't made mistakes! If you ask me, i would go back in time and undo one mistake in my life and study hard, haha. What about you? :D

I could not spent so much time in my previous job and started exploring the possibilities of other countries. but I am okay with it. maybe that's my training ground.

That is one of the regrets i still have. I always get the feeling that i could have done so much more on my first job but i gave up too soon. Anyways, Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I also feel that if I get the chance or I get a time machine then I would like to go in the past and try to find out the mistakes I had done and then I would try to improve and avoid those mistakes in the present. I would like to start my life again to become a perfectionist man.

oh boy. Being a perfectionist is not a good idea. Who will correct your mistakes if you've done wrong? far me perfection is not meant for us humans for only GOD is perfect:)

Hello to both of you! @Roshi You can always start now, it is never too late buddy. :] @giex I think trying to be a perfectionist is always a good idea, only that way you get to realize how to avoid the mistakes that you have made before. Also, no one is perfect so don't worry we won't see God anytime soon. :P

If I was to do it all over again I would have not let my parents tell me to quit college to get a job to help support them. That is the biggest mistake of my life. Not to mention dealing with a man who I thought really loved me but fooled around on me left and right. However, if not for him I wouldn't have my two beautiful girls.

If I could start over, I think I would begin with the year I graduated high school. I think I would have went directly into college and picked up a job in a bar to help support myself. I worked in several bars in my 20s and did well, but I didn't go to college until I was in my 30s -I was too busy having fun. I would have built a career earlier and maybe never even married. There are so many things I would like to change if I could go back, but I guess that's why there are so many movies on the subject. lol

If I could start over again I would try harder with Maths, Science and Physical Education. I would learn to drive as soon as I became old enough and get a car to be mobile. I would travel to lots more countries. I would have liked to meet the man I adored earlier in my life and settled down with him.

If I knew then what I know now, I too would study, or at least apply myself, more; but I don't think we know then what we know now, so I would probably be as I am.

This is actually a common mistake among everyone! None of us did ever study and we regret it now! Oh if only we would have listened to our parents! lols

I think hat having the chance to start over sounds like a dream come true. There are so many things and situations that could have turned out so differently with a different afraid of trying. I sometimes wonder how my life would have been with those kind of changes.

I believe your life would be good. At least that is what you would try right? That is the whole point of starting over. :P

If I could start my life over again, I would definitely change many things and decisions I made before. First and foremost, I will not be shy and will give my best to show people that I am capable of being the best. I was very shy back then, even though I know that answers during class, I am very shy to raise my hand and answer. I felt that I missed many chances in life because of that. I will study harder. I opt to achieve more than what I have achieved during my high school days. A special recognition is fine but I think I deserve a medal. I met my first love when I was in high school, we were actually seatmates but I was not able to take advantage of that to be close to him. I guess he never really know that I have feelings for him. If given a chance to repeat those days, I will definitely cherish those moments. I will master my craft. I am a computer programmer by profession but I was not able to practice it. If only I could turn back time, I will save my money and will not entrust my money to other people. Many of the people I trusted did not return my money. I will be a better daughter to my parents and sister to my siblings. I will guide them more especially my youngest brother. Lastly, I hope that I haven't met my husband. I love him so dearly but I truly believe that we're not meant for each other.

I have thought about this so many times, and I always come back to the same conclusion. If I changed one thing in my life everything could be different. I am happy with my husband, kids and our love for one another. If I chose the career path like I wanted to years ago, I might not have them right now. Would I be willing to have that changed? No. I don't think I would change anything. I have my Childcare Business which I love, I have my faith, I have my husband and my kids. I am pretty lucky. =)

If anyone could start over, mistakes are the first one that one may like to correct. I don't know if you will call this a start over, maybe the question for me would be, if I were to reinvent or plan out my life. If I could, I would choose what parent I will like to have. Sorry, it starts there. I don't have a beautiful early life. It is just now being married that I get to like living..

I understand your childhood wasn't that great, but maybe it is what made you what you are today. I am sure you are a strong person to begin with, independent and stuffs like that. From what i have seen in life, rough childhood makes a better person. :]

If I could start again I will never allow my ex boyfriend to hurt me and took advantage to my kindness, instead i will wait to meet my husband who always love me and never do things to makes me hurt.
