If you could go back and undo one mistake in your life, which one would it be?

Update:

Hmm, still trying to decide on a "Best". I tend to think that although I would have loved to have avoided some of the heartache and pain my mistakes have caused me, they all made me into the person I am today. And, that person isn't all that bad. Learn from them, and don't repeat them.

    There are too many to just undo one... but we all make mistakes and have to learn from them! I have learned alot!

    It is what makes us the kind of people we are as adults, and if we have learned and not made the same mistake again, then it was a valuable lesson! Too bad some of those are painful!

    ummm........pretty tough! If I waz not thinking about this my answer would be answering this question........but this is really making me think .......wow this is pretty tough! There is a lot.....and u don't really know what I am talking about but this is hard to do were u don't know me!but I would have taken another side in a fight...I mean ever thing turned out okay with the other side, we r friends again, but not like before and the other side I am not friends with them at all, and I have new best friends, but that waz the biggest mistake in my life so far! O if I could go back I wouldve made the first move

    Well, hindsight is 20/20; I didn't think I was making mistakes at the time, and I learned from them. I'm not willing to trade the "me" I know for another. A good friend recently asked me about a time when I'd gone after a girl knowing full well it would almost inevitably lead to heartbreak; I said, "yeah, but it was worth the risk". I guess I feel the same about mistakes as that; just because things didn't turn out my way, didn't make pursuing her any less a worthy goal, even if it ended in vain. Life is life; anything worth doing is worth failing at in the attempt.
