Just a question that came to my mind..

What are the things you wished you started doing or knew earlier?

For me it would be playing the guitar, I'm so jealous of people that started playing the guitar at very early age, the difference and easiness of learning is enormous. Same goes with sports, I wish I started playing a specific sport when I was younger, so I could actually grew and 'specialize' in one sport, and actually be better than average in it.

What are yours?

i wish i knew myself better before i met my ex girlfriend.

cant think of any others that aren't the cliche, predictable and universal 'regrets' and wishes. interesting point about your guitar one, im actually very glad that i picked up music and an instrument at a pretty young age, it's helped me to appreciate the art far greater, and it's a great hobby to have as well. never too late, though!

Starting golf. I started at ~age 17, and it's terribly difficult especially after playing about 20 seasons of baseball beforehand. I get schooled by little girls*, no lie.

I wish I started playing hockey when I was 6. Starting at 13 was tough.

Learn French. Now I have to actually try, while my 7 year old cousin is fluent in both in French and English because my aunt only spoke to him in French while growing up.

I dunno, I don't really have much regrets. Everything that's happened to me that I used to regret is now seen in a different light to me, most of those regrets were actually things that weren't really in my control anyway. So it's just a case of shit happening.

I suppose there's some regrets with chicks and stuff like that, but even then I can apply a situation where there's not much else I could've done in a different way. Everything that's happened seemed to happen for a reason, so there's no point of regretting shit as it doesn't even help anyway.

Sometimes it sucks but that's different from regretfulness.

I wish I knew my ex better before all hell broke loose.

I wish I knew myself better when I was still a 12 year old kid.

I wish I had learned Russian prior to going there.

Not true.

As soon as you enter double digit age, music can only ever be a hobby. If you want something more, you'll have to start younger.

Dunno really. I'm sure there's a lot that I could think of at the time, but I have no real regrets.

I wished I had started rock climbing earlier when I lived in Utah.

I wished I had become a lawyer instead of a small business owner so I could be the screwer instead of the screwy.
