If you could start your life over, what would you do differently?

Would probably have tried a lot harder in a levels, and thus tried harder at uni.

Although I would still want to have partied just as much :D
 
I'd become a union chief, so I too could live a life of luxury paid for by taxpayers and the blood of the so called workers I am representing, but forget about while binging on my champagne !!!!

Yes that's what I would do differently.
 
Mostly education-related for me, really.

I'd have made an effort with my GCSEs, done A Levels instead of a BTEC National and then gone on to university to study either maths or physics. I don't have bad grades, as such, but I think that if I had really knuckled down then I could have had more As and A*s rather than a row made up mostly of Bs. A Levels would, in hindsight, have been better for what I want now and I really regret the decision not to go to university at the time. But I suppose the only thing that really interested me at 16 was computers, so it seemed natural that I'd pursue a career in IT and thus that's what I based my decisions on. Oops. :o

I'd probably also have been slightly more active and health-conscious, knowing that it would be easier not to become fat in the first place than to try to undo it now. :p
 
Depends if I had any knowledge of the life I had lived and whether this woudl be a start again from now or to go back in time and start again from when I was born.

If I had knowledge of previous life and events and go back in time then I would; and I would use said knowledge to make lots of money and change a few things.

Assuming a restart from now or just simply to restart from when I was born with no knowledge of my previous life, then no I wouldn’t since I wouldn’t know to do anything differently.
 
Nothing at all, I'm the person I am today because of my life experiences and mistakes, without those I wouldn't have learnt valuable lessons.

I like to think I've made the right choices in life but if I make a wrong one I learn from it.
 
Done different A levels, my chemistry teachers were terrible, and product design was crap. Wish I'd taken Biology instead (at least that way I'd have genetically modified bacteria to make them glow :D), and anything that wasn't PD.

There are other things I'd like to think I'd do differently, but probably wouldn't :o
 
Not join the forces,
Start weight training earlier,
By the bungalow I was living in back when houses were cheap,
Save more money,
Try to talk my parents into forcing me into a different sport whe I was a kid,
Listen to different people when I was at school

I could go on, but I'll summarise by saying pretty much everything.
 
Avoid the 2 previous girlfriends, gone straight for the current one earlier, not mess up my A Levels - either that or would have left school at 16 and gone straight into employment.
I don't regret doing my degree but I just felt it was 3 years of my life that I haven't really gained much from in terms of education, met some great people there though.
 
Well... Part of me would love to say I would do it all the same because your mistakes make you the man you are. Which is fine, and it's true, and here I am alive and reasonably happy.

But, if I'm honest, if I got another go and I knew what I knew now, I would do very nearly everything differently.

I have made an exorbitant amount of mistakes, quite large ones, in my relatively young life. I would try hard not to make them again.
 
Interesting question,

"The diet starts monday" springs to mind, I'd like to say I'd not eat as much, have played rugby more at school, worked hard at school but I don't think I would have.

Probably just taken more risks and opportunities e.g. that girl at that party that time...
