Dropped out of college in my senior year to join the Marines.
Nearly every great person I know is a college dropout.

But, then, I doubt he ever bought a Betamax.
I know its cost me a fortune....but continue to do it!
Personal:
- wasting time that could have been better spent
- ... and other things which I shall not go into here ;)
But I have so many small ones that has added up to be one unshakeable problem.
Always starred at the big picture, the small ones have thrown me out in many sides of life :)
I think I have to start over . . .sighhh
One of my biggest regrets was not being selected for Cambridge University's Air Squadron, dearly wanted to join the RAF.
But I suppose, if I hadn't lived my tour on the ninth ring of Hell, I wouldn't be who I am and learned what I learned. The glass is still half full.

I'm a college dropout!
I quit to start as an IT contractor, a place I'd had work experience with (major luxury car maker in the UK) offered me a job as soon as they'd found out I'd finished GCSE's (age 16). I was at college for 3 months when I switched.
make the point that we learn from our poor choices and mistakes are a part of life. Regret, he said, can't be helped but shouldn't be allowed to rule our lives
Well spoken! That's why I don't have regrets (excepted below), I believe that everything turns out right in the end, which it normally does and better than it would have done. I'm also a great believer in good karma, what goes around come around, do unto others.....
This weekend I got over £1000 of free stuff, yes, legally. If that's not good karma I don't know what is.
The glass is still half full
I'm more objective. If it's filling, it's half full. If it's emptying it's half empty. If it's not actually a glass, it's neither.
My only regret is drinking and driving. Yes I know it was stupid. Yes I know I could have killed someone. I was a kid, and didn't think about things like that back then, 10 years later I've had enough lectures thanks.
Anyway, you can all have a laugh as I was caught on the hard shoulder of the M42 relieving myself.
I was banned for 2 years, fined a whole heap of money and didn't get my life back til I was 23. I could have been 4 years ahead of where I am now if I hadn't done that. That's worse than any ban or fine.
Even worse than owning a Betamax.

Playing online computer games instead of spending my time making more money by actually working on my websites and internet marketing.

Ouch, stay out of my computer, and stay out of my head.
I kept asking my self the same question about the bottle, when I was much less older. Irkutsk is cold.
... but then that may have been a dumb decision too. ;)
