I actually held my composure and made out pretty good with that one. Haven't touched it in years since.

I would have kept the peace at work. I was young and had a hot temper. I was not understanding of others. If someone upset me they became an enemy. To that end I did not see a colleague was going through tough times at home. I thought he was slacking. So I told the boss man he was slacking. I didn't go about it in a professional way. One day he was caught and sacked. I was also made to feel uncomfortable by speaking out. Anyhow, I handled it wrong and could have supported him better. I regret it for a long time. As I grew older I realised people go through stuff and if we can support them in some way then we should. Lesson learned not to take things at face value.

There were that girl at the early 2000's, she was an angel undercover, absolutely pure and not already marked by other men and their shit - and she met me, few years ahead and more the dark opposite of her.
At that moment I'd decided to turn back the time to erase all my until that day made mistakes at relationships and so on, to restart my entire life. What shoud I say? You are a way hardwired and at the end, I got trapped into the same schemes and mistakes I use to make because that was every time a part of me. We split few years later and hell yeah, I regret my mistakes and had been partly cruel as I act...but thats the life. Since I know this experience, I need no timewarps again, it'll show you sometimes just your already known mistakes and the afterwards pain counts double then...

When she is facebook friends with Chris Hansen that should be your first red flag.

In college I took a Real Estate class, where by the end you could have taken the test and become an agent. We had a guest speaker and his advice was this (in 1988 or 1989):
"Get all the credit cards you can and turn them in for the maximum cash and buy as much commercial real estate as you can, then in a few years convert all that debt to loans" I thought he was ridiculous. Now I realize he was probably more right than I thought. Steve |

Only one thing. I'd stick to my guns and make my parents buy me that Ferrari 246 Dino I wanted when they were only $6,000 back in the early 80s.
The rest is beautiful history.

I was 26 years old....had money...had nothing tying me down...and got caught up. I swore that I was too smart for that to ever happen to me. However, money sometimes attracts evil people with ulterior motives. It's not just the money it costs in child support (that ultimately doesn't even go to the child), etc.....but it was the loss of independence and freedom. You can't just get up and move across the country anymore, etc.

I'd simply say listen to your gut, it's an old cliche but you know when something is not right. I've only made one or two bad calls but a) they were huge and b) I knew it was a bad call and didn't have the guts to listen to myself.

I have a long list, but the easy one that would have really paid off is wishing I learned to be fiscally responsible early in life. Instead it took reaching the bottom of the barrel to realize the security and comfort acquired by not thinking so short term. Having financial security allowed me to self finance major expenditures, but also be selective with my employment. This created a virtuous cycle that compounds to this day. I just started a new role Aug 1 that is a significant promotion and I'm ecstatic about it.
