    I'd say skip the first hub too, but without that, there'd be no kids....so not that...I'd say my do-over would be a blanket statement like "Don't trust everyone so much, especially when they've already shown you they cant be trusted!" :s

    I made the decisions I did under the pressure of, and with the best knowledge available to me at, that time. My mistakes sheered off quite a bit of arrogance, beat me down, forced me to grow, made me stronger, made me more empathetic and compassionate to others, and turned me into the man I am today. I wouldn't change a damned thing.

    I would have definitely started Martial Arts (especially boxing, kickboxing & wrestling) at a MUCH earlier age; along with bodybuilding

    I feel blessed to be overall happy with who I am and the decisions I made to get here.

    I'm also lucky and got to say my peace to all my relatives who passed away while they were still alive and coherent and as much the person that meant so much to me as at any point in their lives.

    I might would stress a little bit less about some of the people and forces that tried to alter who I was, and pay attention more to certain things so I could be a better support to some of my friends and family.

    But overall, I'm good.

    My marriage, I would have fought harder for it to work. My kids have tremendously suffered the consequences of two adults who are unable to successfully co-parent.

    It would be great to change some things , but alot of the bad choices were learning curves and turned me into the great person i am today.

    I'd do grad school right after my undergrad. And in general took my studies much more seriously... I could've been where I am now 10 years ago - unbelievable how much time I lost...

    Not conformed to what was expected when it wasn't what I truly wanted or believed.
