If you could go back 30 days from today in time and be able to keep the knowledge you have today......

How many things would you do differently?
Would it make any significant change in the end result of today?
You can elaborate if you want to.

(I'm still counting mine.....)

LOL.. I think a lot of people would say the same thing, except they'd probably be talking about "Killing" the CEO of the brokerage firm they have their investments with!

Instead of 30, can I go back about 44 days (to Monday July 26th) around this time of the day I was on this beautiful Boeing 767-300-ER, at 36,000 feet going about 520 MPH on the way to Honolulu, Hawaii.

I would have called and talked more to a dear co-worker who passed away last Monday battling cancer. ( I knew her time was limited but we had no idea her condition would deteriorate so quickly and she would pass away this soon.) That's why whether someone is ill or not, we should treasure the time we have with them. We are not guaranteed tomorrow and neither are they.

If I could go back 30 days it would not make much difference, but if I could go back about 40 knowing what I know today I would do somethings different and save a boatload of cash possibly.

Oh, I wasn't rubbing it in, but 30 days ago, I was probably doing the same, in the same car, and going to the same job!

Remember, going on vacation requires some hard work too, packing, unpacking, going through the procedures at airports, sitting on an airplane for the 6-hour flight from Phoenix to Honolulu, waiting in line at the rental car counter, getting lost while driving and trying to find the hotel, and a couple of other spots on the Island of Oahu.. not to mention walking around on the beach and watching women in bikinis walking by... taking a lot of pictures and uploading them to the laptop, don't worry I didn't any pictures of women in bikinis.. Man, I tell ya it's a tough job going on vacation..
