One is always asked that. Most people say that they would do this or that differently if they would have their time all over again, but would they really?

It is easy to look back in hindsight, just as it is always easy to look differently at a situation if you have left it. "I should have done this or I should have done that," you say, but if you had your time all over again and the situation represented itself, would you really do this or that again (differently?) Be honest with yourselves.

Hi prettypolly, there is nothing apart from one thing that I would do differently, that is I wish I could have gone to Art College, it was always my dream, but due to the fact that my parents did not have much money and demanded I go out and get a job at 15, it was not to be, but I have led a full and interesting life, so it has'nt been to bad after all. So no I would'nt do anything any different. Thanks for asking. Jenny.

I think that life is there for us to make mistakes and experience negative things too. I would not do my life over or wish I had done things differently. Of course I have regrets and had to learn from my mistakes, but without the mistakes I would not have grown. I have had so many marvelous things happen to me, I have had incredible lovely things happen, there has been a great deal of sorrow, but also a great deal of laughter. I wake each morning and greet the day, glad to have another 24 hours to fill. The most important thing to me is to give love and receive it.

I can honestly say there are some things I would have done differently. Crystal Balls and all that. Too damn late now. But you have created food for thought prettypolly.

Was it Betjeman who expressed regret at not having had enough sex or enough money?

There was something like this as an IP (Inspiration Point) about 18 months ago. I think it was think of 10 things you'd do differently if you lived your life again, or something like that. My contribution was http://www.abctales.com/story/rhiannonw/if-i-lived-my-life-again-ip
