If you could undo one mistake of your life, what would it be?

We make all kinds of mistakes.
Undoing some mistakes could be life altering.
Others would simply save regret.
If you could go back in time and undo just one mistake of your life,
What would it be ?

    Jun 4 2012: I wouldn't undo any mistakes, because you learn from your mistakes. If I hadn't made those silly mistakes, I wouldn't carry the same wisdom and knowledge that I carry today.

      Jun 4 2012: You are right, Rosa.
      But sometimes a mistake changes one's life & beliefs to a very profound level.
      Living each day thereafter, with a pricking regret, becomes a pain !
      It's natural to think that my life would've been so different, so much better had I done things differently...
      Imagine having the power to go back in time and make it right . Just that once!
      That would be something, dont you think?

    Jun 4 2012: Does mistakes actually exist ? We are here to learn, so inevitably we will all make mistakes...

    But to answer your question, I would undo this mistake : A producer of great TV series came in Mtl, and he told me that he can make me a great "star" actress....and I told him, no thanks. Thinking he was a fake, but he was actually the producer of Friends.

    Live and learn!!
