One day I got so smart that I built my own time machine. Right away I went back and un-kissed the girl who broke my heart, I made friends who did not get into so much trouble, and I saved myself the embarrassment of fighting through all the battles I never won. When I came back I realized that though it takes a smart man to build a time machine, a wise man knows very well that the best thing such a machine can offer anyone is the opportunity to go back and make more mistakes, not fewer.
