Q. If you could turn back time and experience again an event in your life, what would it be?
Opinions might be divided over the possibility of going back time in the future. Some scientists say that there is little, if not, zero possibility to come this true in reality. However, suppose this happens and I have a chance to do experience it, I strongly wanted to change what I had done in previous times.
The first thing that I would do is to focus on studying more if I go back to high school. Mothers in Korea these days are highly concerned about their babies’ academic backgrounds, so they push them to study hard. Their fervor for education, without a doubt, greatly contributes to improving children’s grades, but it cannot be a motivation for them. I was one of them who go ahead without realizing the meaning of it. Away from the grade itself, I will read more, research in project more, and think more analytically, during my school days.
Another thing is about the relationship with people, since I later learned how important it is to build a strong personal network. While talking with others, it is often the case that people did regret what they should not have said. In this case, it can lead misunderstanding. This can be applied to the romantic relationships as well. If I have a chance to make everything return to the former condition, I will strive not to hurt and not to be hurt.
We dream of turning back time because we could not realize the value of every minute until we lost them. However, because it is impossible to make a time-machine, we might live dreaming of future.
People have different opinions about turning back time. Some scientists say that there is a little, if not, zero possibility of making this come into reality. However, suppose I have given this chance to experience it, I strongly want to change some things that I did in the past.
The first thing I would do is to go back to my high school life and to focus more on my studies. These days, Korean mothers are highly concerned about their child’s academic status so they push them to study hard. Their zeal for education, without a doubt, greatly contributes to the academic excellence of their children but do little in motivating them. I was actually one of those who just went ahead without realizing my purpose and reason for doing things. So if I have this rare chance, I will read more, research a project more and think more analytically during my high school days.
Since I learned about the importance of building a strong personal network, I would want to improve my relationship with people. As I talked to various people, I found out that they usually regret the things that they said and didn't say. Unfortunately, that leads to misunderstanding. This can be applied to romantic relationships as well. If I only have a chance to go back, I will strive not to hurt and be hurt by anyone.
We dream of turning back time because we don’t realize the value of every minute until we lost them. And since it’s impossible to make a time machine, we might just end up dreaming.
