LeeRichards 177238 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 No bullshit eh?and at the moment, I am still trying to decide if joining CERB and this lifestyle will be something that eventually I will look back on and know that it helped me or will it be on my regret list.. I suspect we all wonder that MrNice....and if you do decide down the road that it is a regret very understandable.......but always take with you the fact that you have helped other people here both willingly and unknowingly while taking this journey to Cerbland and this lifestyle. Just by being you ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamanthaEvans 166767 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 This is a challenging question. I have regrets. There are opportunities I wish I'd taken. There are things I wish I hadn't done, or could have done differently. If I had my life to live over again, knowing what I know now, I hope I would make some different choices. I hope I would have been able to learn from my first experience. But if I could change the past, would I be who I am today? I'm not sure. I like myself right now. I don't want to be a very different person even if I could change a few things for comfort's sake. I tend to be a bit anxious sometimes. I know I worry too much, too often. I'm working on changing that, now. Anxiously churning things over doesn't help me feel better or be prepared for what may happen in time to come. Instead, I'm trying to focus on being more grateful for the good people, circumstances and events in my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thedriver 6179 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 "1 point in time. 1 thing you can change" Choosing 1 thing can mean that you lived a nice experience and it changes nothing about your life after that. Or it can mean that from that one decision your entire life changed and nothing that you are experiencing now would ever have exsited. The people you have touched in some way might have a totally different life also! Like in a parallel universe! I still say I should never have acceped the job in Ottawa.

drlove 37204 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 Always a good idea ... the power of compounding can't be beat. Exactly... I've still done well - the only difference is that I had to invest money in large chunks in order to "catch up", as it were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethany Westbrooke 7532 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 I regret meeting someone who really got me, touched me and then suddenly was gone. But, it's better to have known something and lost it, than to have never known it at all. (I will say this until Cher finds a way to turn back time! I have faith in her!)

Reddog2402 2225 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Exactly... I've still done well - the only difference is that I had to invest money in large chunks in order to "catch up", as it were. Knowing what I know now, I would have bought Nortel shares earlier, and sold earlier. Then put the profits into Apple and Google! Seriously though, I'm lucky to have made it this far with few regrets. Lots of experiences, not all of them good, but they were all part of the path that lead me to this point. Which is a good thing overall. I guess the main regrets come down to family - I would have spent more time with those loved ones that I've lost. I would have asked a lot more questions and learned their stories better - my grandparents led lived that I now find hard to imagine, and at this stage of my life, I would love to know more about the lives they lived. Unfortunately, these stories are now lost. So there's a lesson there... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
