Suppose I were a freshman again
Old people usually give wise advice to young people. One pastime we all fall into from time to time is wishful dreaming: if we could live our youth over again, we would live it differently and better. Almost all of us regret the past, the missed opportunities, the lost years, even though we are barely middle-aged ourselves. Can avoid all faults in the imagination, but also can give people a sense of holiness. No, it's doubtful that many of us would be able to avoid the mistakes of the past, or the mistakes we've always made, if given a second chance. But even if it is little comfort to us to assume that we should try again when we get the chance, it would do young people no harm to hear these words. As long as this foresight is as correct as that foresight!
