The BullSplorer: “If I could do it again I would do it a lot differently”

Yet another adventure of Captain Obvious, exploring the bullshit people think they are saying when they think they are sharing wisdom. So in the fine series of customer service, vendor-reseller relationships, business direction and more: here is another fine post stating the obvious that doesn’t seem to be apparently obvious to everyone else. Ever heard, or worse yet, said the below:

“If I could do it again I would do it a lot differently”

Bullshit.

If you truly mean it, tho, it states one apparent thing about you: You have ridiculously poor judgement. Pardon me, I need to get as far away from you as possible becuase I am afraid of what you’ll “change” next.

Truth is, most people make fundamentally good, reasoned, decisions given a set of facts. Over time there are more facts, more information, more experience. But thinking back to the last thing you’d want to “change” in the perfect 20/20 vision… given the same set of facts, circumstances, money, etc – would you still change it?

Most people make good and bad decisions, given the facts at hand. If you find yourself doing a lot of revisionist history you either have a lot of spare time or you need to do more due dilligence…
