REGRETS ARE GOOD
ENCOURAGEMENTS
According to Answers.com, a regret is a feeling of disappointment or distress about
something that one wishes could be different. Normally, people regret about things that
they should have done but perhaps did not. But since they did not have a chance, their
present and future was been very different.
A good example are students! During school, most of them play around, chat with
friends, mingle with new schoolmates thus forgetting about the value of studying. What
happens is that after graduation, they all regret and say \"what if\".
What if they studied?
What if they did their assignments
What if they became active on class discussions and recitations?
What if they revised well for their examinations?
There are so many \"what if's\" but they cannot bring back they school days. The past is
past and they need to start forgetting their regrets, and start facing their future.
Even in business, they are so many \"what if's\". Many say that we don't need to think
about our regrets because it makes us feel negative instead of being positive. I'd rather
think different! I love thinking of those regrets I had before. You know why? I my view
regrets are encouraging words for me. I don't think of them as negative thoughts.
Though its feels bad to think of those regrets, on the other hand, they are good
because you can use them to push you forward. On a personal level I have developed
a success mindset by looking at my regrets and using them to push me up and forward
to my goals. In fact, instead of staying as a mediocre, I commit myself to success to
prevent having those regrets again in the future.
Think of your past regrets, who knows, you might feel the urgency to succeed more,
right?
