Marrying from my opposite religion, a Christian married to a Muslim.
Early married without proper planning
Let parents and people decide your own career for you
Afraid taking calculate risks
Let somebody else make decisions for you in their own ways
Not everyone will succeed by going to school, I wasted years pushing certificate which later didn't favor me.

My biggest mistake in life was trusting the guidance of older humans and people in ‘religious authority ’. Well, they betrayed me.

I was warned to let her go but I refused because I met her in church

Not knowing that she has retired 😭😭
The church is the final bustop of every retired OS.

Mine was working for sweet sensation for 10 years and nothing to show for it. Took a loan then to start up a business, when it was time to leave they handed my gratuity check to the bank I got the loan from and ensure I never left with nada.

my regrets was trusting uncles that they will help you... if you want to go far in life don't trust family for help.. work as if though you are alone...

today I am only person that will never ask family member help, not because I have but because it has become part of my life.
Secondly, learn trade no matter how small it is

. you can never become rich from salaries but trading will make you comfortable
Mine was believing in pastors for too long. I believed the gospel of christ would solve my spiritual problems. Went to prayer mountains, fasted biribiri until I realised I should have gone traditional. Eye don open.

Maybe you married the wrong half..
You can't marry your God ordained wife and regret..it's not possible
mehn,there is nothing like God ordained wife.If there was a God ordained wife,It should have been Eve.
The problem we have as human beings is that we put too much trust and hope on a fellow human being.Being married to someone is not a life Assurance/Insurance.Even in marriage,we should be open to imperfections and disappointments.

Believing that Obi is next best thing after slice bread.
Leading to a blind cult like toxic follower-ship.

Worst mistake ever.

I represented family in order to go and reject a boy born out of wedlock for my dad ....
That's my greatest and only regret.

So you’re divorced now ? And the marriage didn’t produce children?

My dear na you no look well marry the right person. I’m married to a woman who take up responsibility at home even before I said so. I’m in the USA Today , at her expense and GoD. So there are better women out there that won’t stress you with finance. We both re happily married with twins God has blessed us with .
Are you sure it's about looking well and marrying the right person?Which kind of telescope would you use to look well?

You got tired of fighting, then surrendered to what held you.

My greatest mistake? Gambling.
It made me lose money, time, and opportunities.
If you’re reading this, please don’t joke with betting… it starts small but can finish big.
Re: Name Your Biggest Mistakes So Others Dont Make The Same Mistakes by oliverhenry660(m): 10:00pm On Feb 16
My biggest mistake was thinking gambling was a shortcut.
It pushed me into decisions I regret and made me lose things I can never get back.
To anyone out there: protect your future, don’t gamble with your destiny.

Squandered 13million I made from gambling in 2019
Could have just traveled abroad then
Maybe my life would have been better off now
Any good hardly come out of money made from gambling.
You'd always think there's more where that came from, then squander the one in hand.

Is it amendable?

Divine revelation.

You have to ask God to show you His purpose for your life.

1. HAVING FRIENDS

I no longer believe in friends. I regret making them in the first place. Since I started minding my own business, my life has been peaceful. The only people I confide in are my siblings and my wife. Everybody else is just an acquaintance. Friends come with drama, fake love and unnecessary problems.




2. DOING BUSINESS WITH A PASTOR

Let me be clear: don’t ever make the mistake of doing business with these people. If you can avoid them completely do so. Many of them carry a strong sense of entitlement and hide behind their titles. “Pastor” is just a name --- it doesn’t stop anyone from being dishonest or selfish. I would rather do business with a straightforward idol worshipper than with a so-called pastor who pretends to be holy while showing bad character.

Samantha125:
For me it was during this one campus protest in varsity, normally during our usual protests, I'd make sure to either position myself at the back, or in the middle of the crowd just so I can easily run for cover the moment the police start throwing their tear gas or firing rubber bullets at us.

That day I don't know what got to me that I positioned myself at the front, I don't know if I was high in the Economic Freedom Fighters Students Command's revolutionary songs or what, because those comrades could sing and their protests carried weight... grin grin grin... One of the things that had me invested in campus politics was their revolutionary music... grin grin grin

The police positioned themselves and as they started firing rubber bullets and tear gas at us, we dispersed for cover and while I was still in the process of taking cover, I was shot twice, one on my thigh and the other on my butt, I felt the second one that hit my butt knocking out all my dreams and hopes of becoming a comrade, and as if that wasn't enough, a third one hit my back and it was a final nail in the coffin... Those things hurt, I spent the entire week sitting with only one butt cheek... That was my biggest mistake.
This is hilarious grin grin grin… but you don’t look like someone who would join activities like that … you look like an introvert
