English Expression: Press/hit the reset button
Have you ever thought about starting your life over?
You know what I mean.
Remember the original Nintendo?
After you died, and I always died, you could hit the reset button and start over, but you didn’t start over.
Press the reset button is a phrase used to express regret and a desire to go back in time and redo something better than the first time.
You gained some wisdom from your playing time.
I think there should be a great big fat reset button for life.
What if we could press the reset button if something didn’t go our way?
We could begin again, with a little wisdom, and try not to make the same mistake again.
If we made the same mistake again, we could just hit the reset button again.
If only life had a reset button.
