"If I had a second chance..."

[Alper]

I tried to translate as best as I could.. This is from a Turkish movie which I really like.

If I could start to live again,
In the second chance, I would make more mistakes.
I wouldn't try to be perfect, I would lay down on my back.
I would be cheerful, more than I was in the first
I would do so little in a serious manner.
Cleaning would never be a problem for me.
I would risk more.
I would travel more.
I would watch more sunrises.
I would climb more mountains, I would swim more in the river.
I would go to many places I did not see.
I would eat ice cream to my heart's content and would eat less peas.
I would have real problems rather than imaginary ones.
If I could start again, I would only have happy moments.
I do not know if you are aware but,
This is life itself.
Moments, just moments.
You, too, should live the moment.
I was the one who wouldn't go anywhere,
Without ever having a thermometer, water, umbrella and parachute with me.
If I could start over, I would not carry anything.
If I could start again,
I would take off my shoes in the spring,
And with my bare feet I would walk till the end of autumn.
Discover the unknown ways, enjoy the sun, play with the children, I would, if I had a chance.
But here I am at the age of 85, and I know ...
I'm dying...

Thanks for this... Was agonizing on a decision tonight and this made it easier for me, in a good way.

It reminds me a bit of Gary Vaynerchuck "Go to a retirement home and look at the regrets these people have in their eyes".

I've never lost an opportunity since then, in business and in life.

Enjoy the ride
