My parents banned me from drinking coke as a child as I used to get hyperactive.
Anyway I guess, simpler, "try harder" or "more motivation".
I've always been rather intelligent (not being egotistical) but never really worked hard enough 90% of the time. With the right motivation, I've gone from being bottom of the class to top five students of my year at primary school in year 6 (only because I wanted to beat another kid). I've gone from predicted EEE grades at level to achieving AAA (to get into med school).
If I had worked consistently, not just in education, but in other things, I could have been a better person.

That, in every way. It's the wisdom that always comes too late  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I'm with Fakesnake and CloakedWolf. I have spent a small fortune getting bad circulation and short breath from smoking. I'm not stupid, not just me saying that, but I haven't got where I could have. My middle initial is P for philip but it should really have been for procrastination  . Other than that I'm with Zippy. You are who you are and if you are enjoying life that's what really counts in the end. Richard.

Ah, the big P of procrastination. If I hadn't been so good at it, I would now probably have graduated with a laths degree from St John's College, Cambridge and have a job in The City. But then I would never have met the Wench and so in turn I am really rather grateful that my life ended up this way.
However, that doesn't mean I'm not trying to break the procrastination issue.

Zippy is right but if I could change one thing it would be the accident that left me blind in one eye at 7 year's old , couldn't join the navy can't fly or drive (no depth perception )and now after year's of fun and games shortsight in my good eye, mind you i can still shoot quite well and as zippy said I would not be where I am now.

I'm with Zippy. I'd change nothing. If I could live my whole life, then start again I would, but only because I want some more fun the second time 'round.
Anything that has happened in my life, had made me the person I am today, taken me the places I have been, affected the people I have met etc. If I'd have done one little thing differently, everything now could be completely different.
Sure, sometimes I wish I'd have listened more, or maybe gone to uni' or whatever. But ultimately I think life is about fun, and there is no point in regretting or wanting to change anything that has happened.
I'm not saying I'm happy all the time, or my life is perfect, but I wouldn't change anything about the past. It make's me the person I am today.
