Default What has been your biggest mistake in life so far?

Since I am one of the geezers on this forum, I figured I'd pass on at least one piece of life advice. Don't settle down too quickly, as in high school or freshman/sophmore year of college. I did and it wasted 8 years of my life. I am not bitter about it as I am in a great place, but if I had a dollar for every intern that worked for me or acquaintance that was serious with a girl at 19 or 20 I'd be rich. Learn from the old guys in this forum...there will be plenty of time to settle down in your late 20s and early 30s.

Anybody else wanna fess up to their mistakes, or comment on mine?

Thanks, now go write some poetry and we can get to some real answers that aren't a bunch of crap.

generally being too complacent with what i've got

examples: not studying hard enough when i have a decent grade in a class, not spending enough time with relatives, extremely reducing my poker hours after having a good win
streak

working on study habits and maintaining a set amount of poker sngs every week

Um...not breaking up with the girl I loved before I went to college? I can't tell which was better, having her, or being a free man as I am now. Who knows? I haven't made too many decisions I regret in life though.

If nothing in your life has ever been a mistake, how do you change bad patterns in your life. In other words, for me, the only way I feel like I advance is to recognize something that I am doing that isn't working (a mistake or error) and change the pattern. Don't you do something similar?
