Did u regret it or did u care?
 
My personal opinion is that everyday is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something.. once that day is gone.. you can NEVER get it back!

As far as a typical "once in a lifetime opportunity" It would have to be not quitting my job sooner to spend more time with my father before he passed away.. a few weeks sooner.. a day sooner.. one hour sooner.. just the chance to have been able to spend more time with him..

Hindsight is always 20/20 and I think that a lot of "once in a lifetime opportunities" do not present themselves as such until they have past..
 
I agree with the above poster.

I think everyone will go through this type of thing at least once during their lifetime.

It's all about what we learn from it and how will we react to it.

One of mine would be...not go to public school sooner. My family knew that deaf school is not suit for me before I realize it, but I let my fear control me back then.

But I believe that everything happen for a reason whether we regret it or not.
 
Regrets, I've had a few
but then again, too few to mention
oops! sorry - lost in song lyrics :)

Yes.
On my eighteenth birthday I was offered a free Glider Ride over my county.
I turned it down because I had never flown, let alone in something with no engine...scared.
I regret to this day - I am told that when you are in a Glider Plane the world is beautifully silent and is closest to being a bird as humans can be.
 
I've had that happen to me many times, but I've also learned to accept the fact that it will always happen... so I move on. :)
 
Yeah. At one point I was seeing a jackass therapist and I wanted to beat the shit out of him with the trash can in his office. I never did. :(
 
I've had too many of those and well I was too young to take the offers it was my parents that declined. Most regrettably was one that could've got us to go to alaska by a bi-plane and stay for 6 months in a cabin all paid for.
 
i passed up an oppurtunity to move to florida with my girlfriend...


it may have been a one time thing, i dunno. but the longer shes there and im here, the less chance we will get back together.
 
I don't have any regrets. If I did, then that would be saying I'm not happy with the choices I've made in my life to get me to who and where I am today.
