as the title, what is the most disappointing thing in your life and what would you do if you got a second chance? i think the thing i still can't let go is i failed in the college entrance examination! i always do a bad job at the critical moment. no matter how good i am ordinarily. i know it doesn't make sense if i got a second chance. what i need is good mental attitude so that i can keep normal exertion. what about you?

At his point in my life the most disappointing aspect in my life is the fact that I have waited so long to complete my education and I am still in the process of completing my Bachelor's Degree. If I would continued with my education right now I wouldn't be struggling so much, between work, home and school it is exhausting I don't get any time to myself. Everything is work, work, work. I think that this is my biggest regret and disappointment.

lol. it seems most student hates study at school. it is some kind of restricted and unconfortless. even though it was something you used to be intersted in it, when you study the theory of it in the class you will find it is boring. so if everyone has these feeling so i believe it shouldn't be the worst thing in your life. i just finished my becholar degree. trust me, my study process in china is much more boring than you. so,come on! you can do it i believe

I have hope that I will finish my education, I just finished this semister my Associates Degree so that it is positive motivation to continue and also my husband is in school as well so that is another motivation that I have. So hopefully within the next two years I will have my degree...

Disappointment is a heartbreak that you never see coming. My biggest disappointment so far in life has been watching a decision one of my children made. My oldest son dropped out of school in his senior year. i was devastated and disappointed by it. i love my child with all of my heart but i don';t love the disappointment I feel.

sorry to hear that. i can feel what you feel. from where i was standing, i didn't want to make my parents disappionted when i joined the examination, even though i always yelled at them i was tierd of being impeled by them. i know they wanted me to be good at study was considerate for me. it was not i didn't pay the effort, it was just the result came out like this. i hope one day your kids know everything you did was good to them. and it won't be a gap between you. maybe they can live thier life in another good way too,just without degrees.

The most disappointing thing in my life is failing to "figure out" what he wants. And why on earth were they behaving like that, as though my feelings didn't even matter...The disappointment came in losing a few good friends. Well, I still consider them friends and I am loving them from a distance.

i can see you are such a nice person. you are considerate. actually, you figure out their feelings so much, it is them who don't know how to understand you.

The one moment I wish I could take back... Having to call my dad to get bailed out of jail. I was only 18 years old but thought I knew everything, obviously this wasn't the case. I just felt terrible for making him dissappointed in me. It was awful looking at his sad eyes as we went home. Luckily for me my sister got arrested twice a few years later and now I am back to "being the good kid", even as grown adults my sister and I compete for who is the better offspring. LOL

It is most disappointing to me, I've become a bad mother to my child. I am very sorry for this. I have ignored, the growth of my child, to make my child, be not like other children. If time can be played back, I promise not to ignore my child's growth.

The most disappointing in my life, and really regret is getting married at a young age, and I got married, because I'm pregnant.

The most disappointing thing in my life is losing my career. I lost for the sake of peace in my marriage but the way things are going on, I think I've gained something out of it. Thinking that my decision had made my marriage better is enough consolation. One more thing, my daughter whom I love so much gained most out of it.

The most disappointing thing in my life is being let down by someone you always look up to. I believe that we need to hear to both sides of a story before we jump to conclusions about someone.

The most dissapointing thing in my life would be my my "i-dont-care" attitude. i have hurt so many people unintentionally and im sick of this.well,words once spoken cant be taken back so i see no point for me getting a second chance but im trying all my best to change my rude behaviour.otherwise i know i am going to remain as a sorry-bum the rest of my life.
