Don't get married young.
At a young age, apply yourself in school. I have been married 30 years, and got a college degree at 47..... |

Should have joined the Marines instead of army. Should have went active duty straight out of highschool. Should have went to college. Should have not been such an asshole in high school, could have got way more pussy. Shouldn't have done 2 things which will go unnamed. I'm sure there's plenty more but it's 330am and I'm tired.
ETA, not getting into cola warrior sooner. |

Looking back at the past is good for two things. What I can learn from it, and good memories. Regret nothing, it serves no good purpose. There's often a lesson to be learned from past behavior that didn't turn out well. How could you have handled the situation differently? What would you choose to do based on what you now know? If you learn from a mistake something good came out of it.

There's plenty of things I could have done, but I have no way of telling if they'd have worked out, so I'm happy with what I've got.
However, I have learned a lot from not making/making certain decisions, and that has given me a wealth of knowledge. |

Eh, slight mods for me: one of the things I'm proudest of is getting married young. I didn't let my wife go and become the woman I'd pine for the rest of my life. But staying in school is definitely the biggest regret I have. I'd be so much further along right now if I'd just knuckled down and studied. I graduated last year at age 44. Currently underemployed, hoping to start reaping some rewards soon. Probably having more of a backbone with regards to my career would also have served me well, but not as well as the BA. |

I went to really great schools my whole life and had every opportunity to get a great education. I partied instead from about 16 on. I really regret that. Also I didn't handle problems in my marriage until it was too late.
I'm currently trying to get a handle on other problems so I don't have to regret them in a few years. |

People tell their kids to be engineers. Engineers tell their kids to be lawyers.
I wish I had got an accounting degree, then gone to law school and been a tax lawyer. Instead I got an engineering degree. It pays well, but my earning potential is a third to a half of what it would have been as a lawyer. Engineering and law are very similar. In both subjects you have a set of rules you have to understand, and then you attempt to manipulate things within those rules to your advantage. |

I wish I would of had videoed my sexcapades from my early teens to twenties. I wish I had invested money I blew in my youth on stupid shit like new cars, stereos, etc. I wish I had spent more time enjoying said sexcapades instead of trying to line up the next one. I wish I had been more appreciative of small, perky breasts. Jeez, I see a trend here. I wish I was 23 again.

You want to succeed? This is the only thing you need to know: Don't Waste TIME. It's your most precious commodity. The only one that's real. Pick the One thing you want to accomplish, and work constantly toward that goal. This is where most people fail. They let themselves get sidetracked by "life." Put the blinders on, and stay on your chosen path. Quitting isn't an option. You can die; but you can't quit. |

I'd have stayed in the reserves, yet, a bad injury stole that option from me.
I wouldnt have gone into Police work. Fuck that! I wouldnt have played football. Love the game but dont love being a charter member of Monty Pythons Ministry of Funny Walks. For that matter I wouldnt have boxed either. I'd have been on the Golf team, would be able to think and walk today, and would have gotten as much stinky pinky I'd bet. I'd have had more kids. Yes they are a pain in the ass but theres nothing like coming home to a bunch of squalling brats. Last I'd have set up shop in a more pro-gun/freedom state. I despise Liberalism. |

Loads, but nothing that I can't live with.
The most tragic thing is that in high school I lacked confidence, was a bit shy, and failed to recognize or act on a LOT of signals from girls that were interested in me. I missed out on so much ass.
