Question: Age 35 or older:Look at your life; the world!.In hindsight, what do you wish you would have done 10 yrs ago!?
I am trying to collect the common regrets of the 35 yrs or older crowd (ie, I should have finished grad school, I should/shoudn't have gotten married, I should have started that business, I should have spent more time with my kids, had kids earlier/later, should have traveled, quit that job,etc), stuff like that!. I believe in learning from other's mistakes or experiences!. I believe human experiences are more common than unique!. Help me make great decisions now at 32 and understand what is truly important!.!.!.Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I should have finished what I had started, and now it's even harder than ever to return and complete what I had first set out to do!. What's important, it's never too to late to actually go back and complete what's undone and to understand that sometimes the turtle can finish a race w/ such finesse than a quick sloppy disastrous completion of a hare!.!.!.and your welcome!. ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com
Well, I can only say this: I did finish grad school, I did quit the job (sooner would have been better), I did start the business, get married, have kids when the time is right, travel as desired!. So, maybe there's something to your question!. Maybe those are the things YOU want to make sure you do and you already know that you'll regret it if you don't do them!. For me, no regrets!. There will always be things you meant to do but there are others that you never thought you'd have the chance to do!. Somethings gotta give or else you get on a treadmill!. I always think of the Karate Kid guy, "Whole life-balance!." :0) Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good after reading your question!. Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Great question, but answer is!.!.!. sorry, no offence but certainly, you cannot leave your life by other people's opinions or experiences!. To make a good choice for your self, just ask your self where you want to be in ten years from today!. Common people ask for common things and never achieved great insight otherwise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I should have lived more & not been afraid to try new things!. I also would have put less into what people thought of me & more into what I think of me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
