Game book

Do you all still remember those game books last time? You flipped the first page, read the scenario and chose from one of the 2 options. Then according to your option you flipped to the relevant page and repeated the process until you won or were killed. Some options get you to the same place in the end, but other options lead you to a different outcome.

Sometimes life is like a gamebook. At each juncture you are presented with options, and you chose the one that you thought was the best and moved on. At the end of the day, when you look back and flipped back a few steps, you realise that maybe if you had chose the alternative option 3 steps back, you would have won. But you chose the wrong one, and you are left to regret it. And almost inevitably, the wrong option you chose was to NOT DO something.

But alas, life isn't like a gamebook, you can't cheat and flip back the pages. What can you do when the more steps you take, the futher away you get from winning the game, just because of that wrong turn you took 2 steps ago? Is there anyway to get back?

Sometimes you can second guess yourself too much.
