Time Travel - If you could go back in time to your first year as a BA, what would you tell yourself.

This is far more complicated then it needs to be. I wasn't looking to debate the theory behind a hypothetical question I proposed. This was just for fun to see what you would say to yourself in the past to help them improve. It's a thought exercise, I'm not arguing the merits of past vs present.

If you look at your house example, and it cost you $1000 to complete the renovation and 5 days and years later you discover someone who could do it for $500 and 2 days....suddenly you have a lessons learned. You are right you can't change it, I don't have a DeLorean with a flux capacitor. But the principle is, what major thing have you learned that would be neat to pass along to a younger version of yourself.

Please, if this simple thought exercise doesn't interest you just move along to another topic. I don't want to argue about the merits of a hypothetical situation.

Steven, I have no problem at all from my side. I agreed with you from the beginning and I see no point to argue, I interfered and I tried to explain when I saw this taking another direction but it seems that I also was not able to clearly deliver the idea.
