Any Regrets?

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- Mark Twain

What do I regret not doing twenty years ago?

Let me think...1983. I started my own business October 1, 1983. I gave notice at the AY during June 1983 and agreed to complete an IRS protest. I finished that on September 30, 1983. When I gave my notice, I did not have a clue what I was going to do. However, I was not worried. I knew I would also be good at whatever I chose to do. God, youth has such confidence. Maybe it was naivete coupled with some arrogance. No matter.

Do I regret opening up my own business? Nope. Do I regret quitting AY? Absolutely not. What didn't I do that I regret? I don't remember contemplating doing anything else (once the idea of starting my own CPA firm occurred to me).

Let me broaden the question: What do I regret not doing?

I regret not asking my mom and grandma more questions about the family and its history. I also regret not asking my dad and his family the same questions.

I regret not handling my yo-yo weight problem. I suspect that allowing the yo-yo syndrome to happen has hurt me.

I regret the "awfulness" of the time before and after my mother died.

I regret my up-to-now inability to get organized and to move in the proper direction.

I am sure there are a ton of others, but these are all the regrets that I can think of...
