Well, the journey has just begun! If you've wasted one year, no problem - just work harder from the second year onwards. The real reason why so many people are crippled isn't because they wasted their time, but rather because they were hung up on them having wasted their time and spend even more time to regret it!
It's as if as you've just only started a marathon race, and you started crying after the first 100 steps because you didn't start it the way you wanted it to be!
Agreed. So many people think "well i've messed it up now there is no point in trying anymore" which is completely wrong!
