QUESTION OF THE DAY #40: What do you wish you knew when you were younger?

Today I built an oak file cabinet.  It was from a kit.  As I put it together, I followed the pictures, but when I got done, I found a bottle of dried up glue.  It turns out I should have used glue.  I wish I'd known that when I started, but I didn't, and it will have to just stand as is for the time being.

Such is life!  The saying goes, "If I'd only known back then what I know now."  This question can open a whole can of worms.  It's true. For myself I wish that I had cared less about what other people think, and been less afraid of failure.  

There could be a whole lot of regrets, but one thing I find is that people, when they are younger, might not fully realize how good things can be later on.  God has good things in store.  I think that the surprise can actually be part of the fun.

1 Corinthians 2:9 (ESV) 
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—
