Start lifting weights and eating better. Started this in my 50s and it's not easy.

You go, old man! You're an inspiration!

Calling him old isn't really helping his inspiration

I am 21 now. I still struggle to do this. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to start at 50. Good for you. Keep it up.

I started doing some basic workouts everyday at home in front of the TV and Jogging and stuff with 25. Its not easy if youre this young either :/ its a daily struggle.

I would have aaa lot more sex with more women. So many missed opportunities.

I've had an absolutely outstanding life thus far and therefore would prefer to lis things I would repeat.
1) invest in good people, dump bad ones fast 2) travel - climb Kilimanjaro, great wall, patagonia, middle East. 3) save money 4) start a business
If I had it to over again my only item that comes to mind is I would drink less and not have smoked for a few years.

Very good point. I met my wife through a mutual friend but I only knew that friend because of my partying. If I made a few better choices I may not have been so delinquent back then. Then I wouldn't have met my wife, 10 years married this year.

I wouldn't quit college and would still be studying to become a teacher.

That decision seems so easy to make when you drop out, it's years later that you realize how far behind you are. I dropped out when I was 19, next thing I knew I was almost 30 and struggling. Better now but damn, a college degree would have made job hunting easier.
Also, yes I understand it isn't an easy pass but jobs I am qualified for I did not get just because of a piece of paper.

That's debatable.

Immediately break up with my girlfriend and get back to college. Oh the mistakes I've made over a woman...

I honestly like how I have turned out to be, and by answering this questions it would imply that I would not be who I currently am. I guess for shits and giggles I would have actually attended my Chinese classes while I lived in China... wouldn't really change who I currently am other than the fact I would actually dominate the god forsaken language
[–] pitenius 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Did you have problems with the language or with Chinese pedagogy?
[–] ArtEnt 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I would say neither, I was just honestly caught up with actually having a social life for the first time in my life, on top of that I was 'cool'... it's the whole idea of starting out fresh where no one knows you...
