I wish I hadn't been such an unruly kid in high school. I wish I hadn't done drugs and had gotten kicked out of the 11th grade only to get a GED and, later, a HS equivalency diploma just to get into the USAF. I wish I had gone to college right away instead of taking classes here and there and eventually graduating at the ripe old age of 36.
If I had not done all of the things above, I never would have met and married my wife. I never would have had my son. I would not be as well prepared to raise an intelligent, thoughful and independent teen. I have street smarts that few who've gone to college immediately after HS possess. Those skills have served me well in business. I would have missed out on all of those trying yet invaluable and thoroughly enjoyable life experiences.
So I guess I wouldn't do anything over and I have no regrets.
