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?

Re: What has been your biggest mistake in life so far?
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?

[/ QUOTE ] i cant think of a thing ive ever done that wasnt "working"...so no...at after a certain age its near impossible to change anything about urself. I like who i am...and if people dont...i dont care...im not changing myself for them...of course its cost me a few bfs and what not...but my friends and whatever else was more important to me...i dont see any of that as mistakes or things i want to change - but for me a mistake is something i would do differently. I have only regreted on thing in my life, and thats b/c it resulted in a death...but i wouldnt change it and dont consider it a mistake even though i dearly miss that person

[/ QUOTE ] If it was something that lead to positive change and growth was it a mistake?No,it was a gift.I've done a lot of stupid things in my life(I'm 40,another "geezer" here).Drug and alcohol addiction,petty crimes,selling bad drugs,a long string of psycotic relationships etc.I look back and realize that these trials in life were what made me who and am today,and I like me.If you're not growing,your not living and growth can be painful sometimes. I can honestly say I've made no mistakes in my life.
