If you could do it all again

Do you have any regrets about things you』ve done or haven』t done?
What if…you could live your life over again? Everyone has some things they would do differently and some they would do exactly the same. How about you?


The following is my three friends』 idea

Laura:   After I finished high school, I just wasn』t ready to go to college. I really needed some time to figure out what I wanted to do. I had saved up a lot of money, so I used it to travel through Eastern Europe for six months. It was an amazing experience, and I learned a lot about myself. Once I got home, I was ready to start college. Now the only trouble is, I don』t have enough money to pay for it! I should thought more about my finances before I took such and expensive trip.

Evan: By the time I was 22, I was the head of the public relations department in a major telecommunications company, Now I』m a vice president. I love the excitement, the status, the security and the money. But sometimes I was up in the middle of the night and wonder, 「 What am I doing? Who am I?」 When I was growing up, I always thought I would become a teacher or maybe an artist. Sometimes it seems like I』ve got everything, and yet I』ve got nothing.

Rachel: Soon after Brad and I got married, his company transferred him to San Francisco. I had a very successful career, but I quit my job and we moved. Brad has been transferred twice since then Now I work as an office temp. Sometimes I think if I had been a little more selfish, Maybe I could have done more with my career, too. But Brad really means a lot to me. As soon as I met him, I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him.

So, if you could choose, what kind of change would you like to make? I mean, in your situation.

i can't give a brief comment on the above three situations for which i will select.

I only understand that Laura, at least she knows her aim and being herself as she returnes from such travel, which it won't happen in my life without advancedly accurate plan alike her. I, hence admire her such behavior to understand of life.

Sorry. i can't complete my essay this time as up to off now. i will go ahead on sat.

wish you a nice weekend.

As saying goes:"Yesterday never come back to you", but most people make wrong step in early stage of life when they were young and wome of them try blame others like Rachel.  We see that she regreted that she's not being selfish which you can tell more or less that she blamed her husband made her lost herself.  From most of our American experience, we probably easily regret that we should study hard on English when we were in China, then our American life would be much easier.  To do what you can make it better on the done deal.  I believe that people never content with what they have and want what they don't have now.  Like Evan, She makes so many women envy/jealous her successful career, but on the hand, she felt that she was too business, too dedicated to her job and lost her romantic or colorful personal life.   Life is always unbalanced.

I think this topic is only for joy but not for regrets. Too much crying on the spoiled milk make us feel guilty and blame ourself too much.
So, I want to say by a lyric from westlife : what i want is what i've got.
我不去想是否能夠成功,既然選擇了遠方,便只顧風雨兼程;我不去想[FONT=幼圓]undefined[/FONT][SIZE=4]undefined[/SIZE][COLOR=Blue]undefined[/COLOR]身後會不會襲來寒風冷雨,既然目標是地平線,留給世界的只能是背影。

Whatever we do, we think about it and look back a lot when possible and try our best to make it better, It does help in the future.

life is full of tradeoffs but we often want to have our cakes and eat them too.
perhaps having some ideals that can never be achieved turns out to motivate us more, though it leaves us some inevitable regrets
