If you could go back to any part of your life and start over again. You don't remember everything you've just lost, but you just sense to do things differently, like applying for that job, or buying that car that 'would never be a classic'

So what would you guys do if you could go back?

I'd go back to the beginning, more or less. It's been a fun ride.

Would probably do exactly the same.

Go through a couple of very messy long term relationships before finding Mrs Meeja and becoming very happy.

Gave up a bright Tennis future back when I was a very young kid (8- 10 yrs old). Wish I hadn't stopped playing.

Also really regret giving up the Piano as well.

I can't think of any specific event I would change, or different path I would go down, but I would have liked to have the confidence and motivation earlier, which for some reason I didn't get until my early 20s. Not a big waste, my life is great, and it's only through the experiences and mistakes I did make that I learned that, but I think the early part could have been better.

That is one thing I am so grateful to my father for. When I went through the "wanting to give up" stage after grade four or five, dad literally chained me to the piano stool saying "you'll thank me one day"

Nowadays I get a huge amount of pleasure and stress relief from playing the piano.

Thanks dad.

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

I used to think I'd have wanted to go back and change the A levels I sat from ones I thought would set me up to earn money (and hated, so bombed) to ones I'd have enjoyed (so would probably have aced them, and actually earnt more!) but now I've reached the stage I have in my career, I've realised it wouldn't have made any difference apart from maybe the first couple of years, so why worry about it. smile

Thus probably the one thing I would've preferred not to do was scrap my old Hillman Imp. hehe
