Decisions

Have you ever taken a decision that changed your life?

What do you think: is it guts or just being coward doing that? Would you do it (again if you already have)?

Yeah I have.....and most ended up being catastrophic failures! Sine then, I've learned to look further down the road and weigh out the end results.

Then again, if you weigh out the end result of everything too much....you miss those fun spur-of-the moment life surprises which make life exciting and wonderful.

For those of you who are still in their 20's....I'll suggest this....finish any education needed to back up your dreams. Weigh out marriage and children...but don't block the possibilities. Keep your credit all clean and shiny at any cost!

I think I'll make a big poster with your words in my room, LOOL!!! I have taken a chance (made a radical decision) because I wasn't strong enough to do it other way. As in actually facing reality, actually confronting my part of blame... hum... in other words, the fact that my life pretty much sucked :hurt:

I'm glad I did, so far I see only the good part. Would I do it again? Change my life ??? I think "No freakin' way!!!". Unless I could live in Canada or America, of course.

One of the great advantages in being young....is still having so much time left to explore all the options. I always try to remember that I'm not a cat with nine lives.....I've only got THIS one....and I need to make it count and do whatever I want to this time around.

I didn't wear a condom 10 years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I think unplanned surprises are a major part of what shapes our lives and possibly brings us the most joy.....such as a child....or falling in love.

Agreed.

Oh, it's been a while since I've last been surprised. In a nice way

.

Maybe it's because of Murphy's law: "All things left unattended usually end up bad".

On the other hand I'm a bit proud of myself, because this year the main lesson I learnt was to trust. My bf, that is.

Learning to apply trust IS a great life lesson. I FLUNKED that course....

Duke · 12-01-2004, 07:16 PM

I couldn't find the classroom.

Maybe we should BOTH read this book Duke!

I don't think anyone ever really learns this lesson. It's like in school: from time to time, there are unannouced test papers constantly. Sometimes we pass... other times we fail...

The most important thing, though is the willingness to learn from your mistakes.
