If I Could Go Back in My Life

If I could go back in my life and do something differently，this is what I would do：

I would not waste so many hours in front of the television set.

I would get out and enjoy my own life，rather than watching actors in shows.

I would be a little more considerate of other people.

I would realize that my mother has more to do than pick up after me.

I would pay more attention in school.

Tests are easier when you have paid attention，rather than fooling around in class.

I would save more money rather than spent it on useless things.

I would read more.

Reading is enjoyable，and it opens the door into all kinds of wonderful places both real and imagined.

I would learn to play an instrument.

Music is always appreciated if it is played well.

I would eat better foods.

I would try to stay healthy through my diet and exercise.

I would take pictures，and I would keep a journal.

Memories are very precious.

I would take the time to listen to what people have to say.

People appreciate a good listener.

I would take the time to enjoy each day as it comes.

Sometimes，I was so busy looking forward to what is coming up，that I don't take the time to enjoy the day that I am living in.

That's what I would do if I could go back in my life.

In fact，I think I'll just make a habit of doing all of those things all through my life.
