I have many things i'd like to take back in my life.... i've made many mistakes. I think my biggest mistake was quitting a job i really loved. I also regret dropping out of high school (i have since finished)

Walking away when I should have stayed.. staying when I should have left and not telling the reason for either.. I tried changing it.. you can never go back.. even if you have the chance.

Nicely said... i think we've all been there before. I guess we just have to believe everything happens for a reason.

I think the biggest mistake I've made so far was not listening to myself and not fighting for what would've made my career a lot more successful now. I wanted to work abroad, I had all the qualifications, but some folks have a lot of negative things to say about my situation alone in such a place. I got discouraged and frustrated for their lack of support, and thought I cannot really go on my own way when I know we wouldn't be in good terms because of it.

I think mine was being impulsive at a very vulnerable time in my life. Thinking back, I realized that there were signs of caution everywhere. Some staring me in the face. But, I guess I was not thinking straight. So, it is what it is.

In 2004 I had a really great job. It was interesting and I learned a lot. I had some great co-workers and a great boss, and I loved working there. The only problem was that my job wasn't close to my home, and when someone offer my a similar job in my own town I decided to take to it. I was tired of commuting and tired of spending part of my salary on train tickets, and I thought that it would be nice to work in my own town instead. That was a big mistake, because the job in my own town was a lot more stressful. I was always extremely busy, my co-workers were irritable and unfriendly and there was a bad atmosphere at the place. I made more money than before, but I really regret quitting my old job.
