Things you perhaps should've done in life

[GreekStein]

Finished Uni.

Continued learning more of the languages I loved.

Crossed the road that one night when I was walking home alone when I was about 13 years old and had a knife pulled on me and got mugged. That experience had a lot of negative impacts on me for quite a long time. Imo it stunted my social life, my self confidence etc and made me a late starter with things like going out etc. If I bumped into those two guys today I would do bad things to them.

I should have been 100% committed to playing music for a living when I was a teenager.

I took the advice of absolutely everyone that said "you have to have a back up plan" which is rubbish.
The people that make it, throw EVERYTHING at it and live to play. Every waking minute should have been spent practicing, writing, jamming, auditioning, rehearsing and performing for anyone that would listen.

Every minute spent grinding a regular job or pursuing an activity that doesn't move you forward towards that goal, holds you back.

Go hard or go home.

Good thread - somewhere i the awkward space between morose and inspiring!

It's still pretty early in my life for me to have regrets/things I should have done but...

- Worried less about what others thought in my first years of Secondary School.

- Spent/spend more time with my grandparents. I am terrible for this and, whilst it's easy to blame geographical/work commitments, deep down I know I could/should make more of an effort.

- Should never have become a 'social smoker'. Was only for a short time but it's massively idiotic, carries no tangible benefits whatsoever, and if it has implications later in life I will kick myself.

- Been more forgiving of/patient with others.

- Blown healthy chipstacks less.

/deep and meaningful.

I've never been to Nando's and am still waiting for Vinny to take me.

I've never watched a single episode of The Simpsons.

I wish I hadn't left San Franciso after a couple of months in 1967.

Never smoked a cigarette.  Not even a puff.  Love the smell tho.

There are 3 or 4 chaps I work with who have never had a cup of tea. I mean wtf is that all about?!? How can you go through life as an Englishman having not tasted tea?? In my annoyance i have made them several cups just so they can try it but have been met with point blank refusal on every occasion. Weird and unsettling imo.

Tease them until they do, IMO.

Forced myself to like tea or coffee, I am a social outcast.

Have tried it, but can't stand it.

Coffee, I'm a little too fond of, and due a cold turkey.

I pretty much instantly put the kettle on reading this. Who on earth doesn't drink tea??
