Life gives you one "do over"

Damn man, I know a lot of people who did the same type of thing.

More often than not I think people fall into their careers.

Yeah, I'd take falling into a career over just working jobs though. Shit sucks. I mean I could turn retail management into a career but it's not what I want to do forever by any means.

Retail is tough man. I worked for CompUSA for about 8 months and basically hated every second of it. That was my first and last experience working in retail.

I'd like to do today over and have made my other emp. work this afternoon so I could have played golf.

What if you had the chance to go back and change one event or do one thing differently in your life? Instead of taking a left you can now take a right. What would you do and why... and how would your life be different now?

I would have SOMEHOW prevented Steve Spurrier from making it to Washington.

No seriously, I would not change a thing. I love my life. Yes, I've had a lot of pain (physical), trials and tests...but the life I have now with my wife and son wouldn't be something I'd want to prevent from happening with a re-do. All of the tough times and lessons have made me a stronger, better person and were worth it.

In a similar vein-high school baseball. What turns out to be the last game of my career. I'm the starting pitcher, we're playing our rivals at their new stadium under the lights. I'm tossing a no-hitter but it's 0-0 at the bottom of the final inning. Walk, error, error, hits batsmen (I hit his damn shoe!). Winning run walks home we lose 1-0, our playoff hopes dashed...I'd like that final pitch back

dang man a no no going into the 9th, thats brutal. concentration. its easy to lose concentration when your doing the same thing youve done a zillion times. ive taken a billion shots on goal and concentrated on where i wanted to put the puck.

i really blame our coaches. they were horrible. with young guys they should have pulled us aside and calmed us down and gave us pointers and thoughts like . . . put the puck on net. dont skate in too fast, etc...

funny how sports moments and thier details stay with you. i can replay that shot and a ton of other sports moments like i have it saved on video or something.

Technically, the games were only 7 innings in High School. So no no going into the 7th.

I rarely got the start. I was usually the closer. But because our starters had pitched their max innings for the week, I got the start.

Mike Shanahan want to write in for this thread.

He said post the McNabb trade.

I ked!

Mine is easy - Four years ago, I bought a house at auction and tried to rehab it myself by being my on Gen. Contractor. I was a bit cocky b/c I had just bought a new house and turned my then current house into a rental and had come out golden.

Unfortunately, I really didn't have my ducks in a row ended up taking way to long to repair it and sold it at a huge loss just as the market dumped. Lost 10 years of savings/equity and am still in the hole over it.

Did I learn anything from it? Yes. Was it a lesson worth close to the 100K I lost? Nope.

Ugh... I too learned the hard way about trying to be your own GC.
