If you could go back in time...

Just musing. If you could go back in time to a specific age - say 10 - with all the knowledge you have now, would you? What would you do with that knowledge?

I think it would be amazing in some ways but a burden in others. You'd know about things that you would be powerless to stop.

Well obviously you'd make a very quick fortune with buying 10 Microsoft shares

And betting on the Berlin Wall coming down etc/royal baby names etc

I'd be going back to shag a few blokes I didn't get to when I was about 16

I'd go back to when I was about 17 and stop my mum selling my grandad's victorian solid gold watch chain to a jeweller for next to nothing. We needed the money, but I thought she was being ripped off even then, and I dread to think what it would have been worth now.

Yeah I'd have a bit more self respect. I'd also have worked harder at school. I've no doubt I'd have a PhD now if I'd tried harder.

I would definitely buy shares in Nokia and then Apple when the time came. My life decisions would not lead me to have the children I have now though - which would be sad.
