If You Could Live Your Life Again,what Would You Change ?

Recommended Posts

More sex with nurses ;)

 

I'd change everything if I'm honest. Why do the same stuff twice?

If you had your time again, wouldn’t you be doing it all for the first time?

But would I know? If I did it all again I might make the same choices again because I wouldn't know any better? Or it could be one tiny, insignificant choice I made that might reshape my life, but as you say, I wouldn't know.

Presumably humans have knocked you back this time round? 😁

Hindsight is a wonderful thing as the saying goes. The unfortunate aspect of experience is that we tend to have it in the later part of life.

 

How many people listened to the voice of reason/wisdom from someone older back then? Would we listen now?

Nothing. Everything, whether good or bad, happens for a reason.  Instead, I would rather concentrate my energy doing all the good stuff from now until death.

I recall the saying “  If I knew then ,what I know now!”  We are all wise after the event are we not ?

Perception can change with age in respect of what was good then, and maybe not perceived as good now.

In terms of "career" - I don't have any regrets as such.  I've had a rich and varied career in many different industries and I've done a wide range of jobs from things very junior to very senior.  Most of all I've met some fantastic people along the way and been to some fantastic places as well.  I can look back and think..."maybe I'd have gone further and faster if I'd done this or that", but then again I'd have missed out on some very rich life experiences along the way perhaps.  I've been lucky in many ways, but I also think that it's about how you view and approach life.  I'm outgoing, I like change and I don't mind taking risks.  That's not for everyone I appreciate, but for me it's essential.  I easily get bored of doing the same things the same way.  I won't even drive into town and back the same way.  I love variety.  

 

In terms of "relationships" I'd say it's a bit of a mixed bag.  There are some relationships that I was in where I should have exited much sooner.  There are other relationships I was in where I should have cherished them more and treated them with greater respect. I put that down to immaturity, although it was fun at the time!   If it's true that all your life experiences flash before you just before you die, there are some relationships that I'd put on "fast-forward" and others I'd watch frame by frame, in slow motion! 😃  I was always reluctant to commit to a relationship, until I met my other half.  Even then I was a bit reluctant!  But after 7 years of dating her she finally persuaded me that I was getting fatter and balder and needed to get married sharpish!  So I did.  22 years later I'm still glad I did!  

 

Not sure what is meant by "change another time zone"?  I have lived and worked in different time zones and really enjoyed experiencing differences in culture amongst different people.  It's fascinating.  Not least, to learn how other cultures see us.  If the question is about living in a different era then that's really difficult, but I'd probably choose the late 20's or 30's when people seemed to dress smartly, act courteously towards each other and things seemed to be on the up.  

 

I suppose my biggest regret really is when I've hurt someone's feelings.  It's mostly been unintentional, but I can be a bit insensitive to others at times and I also don't suffer fools gladly.  There have definitely been times when I've let folks have it with both barrels - and I've usually regretted that.  It may have made me feel better at the time, but afterwards I've felt bad about it for ages.  And people never forget.  They might forgive, but they never forget. 

 

I was at an ex-colleague's funeral a few weeks ago and I bumped into a guy that used to be my boss, 20 years ago.  Now, you'll have to take my word for it, but this guy was a bit of a tosser.  One day he called me out, in front of colleagues, for a bit of criticism.  In fact, it wasn't one thing, it was several things.  We were in a meeting at the time and at the end of the meeting, after he'd gone, my colleagues asked me why he seemed to have such a problem with me?  That was it!  That's what I was feeling as well, but the fact they'd all noticed it just lit my fire.  I went to find him in his office, walked in, and asked him what his problem was?  I then proceeded to give him the biggest bollocking he's ever had in his life.  He literally went white with fear, because boy, I was angry.  No swearing, no threats, but as these words were tumbling out of my mouth I could tell he was bricking it and at the same time, a little voice in my head was saying, "Shut up!  You'll ruin your career!".   But I didn't care.  Anyhow, back to the funeral the other week and the first thing I did when I saw him was to go over, smile, shake his hand and ask him how he was doing?  And his response was friendly, but the next thing he said to all around us was, "I remember being in a meeting with him some years ago and I must have said something that upset him, because he burst into my office afterwards and gave me the biggest bollocking I've ever had".  He was making a joke of it, but obviously it was still fresh in his mind after all those years.  I laughed about it too and I reassured him that I have mellowed a lot in later years and if that same thing happened again now, I'd knock next time! 😃

I think I’d spend more time posting on internet forums about what I’d like to do differently if I could live my life again. Hmmm...

 

Recently, I’ve been thinking how weak and puny we humans are. We are subject to all kinds of universal laws, like gravity for example. A whole bunch of stuff which we don’t create, but still, acts upon us, weather we like it or not. You and me are pretty insignificant, and it doesn’t really matter.

 

EDIT, forgot to add, also less thinking and more sha**ing my brains out please.
