Hello everyone, how are you? This prompt is really interesting. But, I have also done this in other communities. The essence might be different. If one day, I mean, if I fall asleep and go back to 10 years ago, what will I do? Will I live with the memories that have been there?
The answer is yes. Actually it hurts, I live with memories in the past, but I will take the opportunity to go further and realize my postponed dreams. Then, break through all my fears. Then, what opportunities will I take?

I will not repeat what I did today. I will pursue some opportunities that I did not do in education. First, I pursued the opportunity to study abroad from the beginning. Today, I pursued that opportunity at the age of over 30. Actually, this is okay and everyone does this. But, if I pursued it at a younger age, maybe I would have found better opportunities than today.
Today is better, but it turns out I need to pursue other things. And of course, studying abroad has been my childhood dream. And of course, at a very young age, I need to make it happen. I was constrained by English, so I always backed off from making it happen. I backed off again to pursue my dream of living abroad.
Second, I learned English and just fluent English at the beginning. Where, I felt that the opportunity to learn English was something that I found a lot. In the past, I was indoctrinated that English was not important. So, I was afraid to speak English. And all this time, I was afraid to learn English. I was afraid to speak English.
And of course, when I go back in time, 10 years ago, I will learn English and take advantage of everything. Take advantage of the facilities that I find. I take advantage of the digital conditions that I find today. Maybe that's all I can do. What do you think?
For me, these two things are important. And even so, I will still live with my memories of 10 years now. Even though the memories are painful, I will pursue the opportunities that were left behind when I was young. That's all I can do. See you another time.
