 I wish I had one more chance to live my life all over again.

I would have studied harder in college and during my CA days and not paid any heed to those pessimists who said that nobody clears CA in the first attempt.

I would have got married sooner and started spending time with my better half instead of thinking that to get married is to enslave yourself to that one person instead of keeping your options open.

I would have had kids well in time for my body to support my biological age instead of now worrying each day if I will ever have kids the natural way and whether my body and mind shall have the capability to deal with them.

I would have fought less with my brother during our teens had I the knowledge that later on he would grow up to be such an important part of my life.

I would have exercised more and not lazed away my evenings/weekends.

I would have enrolled in extra-curricular activities be it singing, dancing or playing a musical instrument.

I would have been more understanding of my mother during my teenage years realizing that she always has my best interests at heart.

I would have worried less about what other people think about me and more about what I want to do.

I would have been more adventurous in my choices, be it, career-wise or jetting off to a foreign land.

I would have given myself priority over everybody else without being the sacrificial being that I am known to be.
