All inventions and ideas that would come in next ten years (2015) , before their inventors ( in 2005) I would make them by my name registration.

I would probably do the same main things. Hopefully win lottery..that would br good...

infact maube win it a few times and spread the wealth around.

Seriously I try not to think like this as it can be frustrating and counter productive.

The best way of checling decissions is if you could go back 10 years and with NO HINDSIGHT would you make the same choices. Do not include curiosity of "if I had gone down that route" as well.

If you can look back and say you would still do the same , no matter what the outcome has led to. Then you can be happy with your life.

Basically you learn that you cannot control some things , you can only make your decissions and hope your future works out. If it doesnt it maybe because of things out of your control. If its because of a bad decission you have made then try and learn from it.

Remember we cannot change the past but we CAN change how we deal with the future.

Keep looking forward ..Pax

dear paxo05

i mean you go back past, aren't you tired to do the same things again that you experience before?

do you want to live again without any changes in it for 10 years (till 2015)?

I was not afraid of the dark place anymore.

When my father was fighting me, I was laughing and I was not afraid of him.

I do not listen to my parents for sleeping early and i wake up till morning :D

Presumably the knowledge that I had today would include how to go back 10 years and I would use that knowledge to go forward 20 years.

More seriously. My wife and I live apart. She was great support to me in my depressions and I would try to find out how and why she was unhappy living together and put it right. We remain reasonably good friends but I know that she has also suffered since splitting up and my belief is we both were far stronger together.

Suppose by chance , you are taken to the past (10 years ago) by Time Machine.

not you invent a Time Machine.

and you are a regular guy with all the knowledge and abilities that you have today.

what did you do? what didnt you do? what did you like to change? like school, releatives, histories and etc.

think about it :)

I would stop smoking, and move back to London :D Bev x

ps Oh and would win lottery too.....

There are somethings I would not repeat but I have found some good friends during that time . So I think the bad is outweighed by the good. Regards Lorna.

I would be ten years younger that's good enough for me don't want the lottery money does not bring happiness it's false people are obsessed with wealth all you need is a roof over your head food and a family if you have one

Not what you're looking for?
