when all is said and done will you have said more than what you've done?

people always end up regretting a great deal of things. and sometimes wished they could have done things another way or wished they just have left some word unsaid or deeds undone. but would you count yourself as one of them or do you do the other way?

It does seem like most of us will have more things undone then more things that are unsaid. There are times where in the back of our mind, we have this huge grand plan to really accomplish something great. But there are times where we have a lot of fancy words that we are going to do. But in the end, based on whatever circumstances, things don't turn out. I do hope for great accomplishments. I think that a couple of things have gone rather well. Many others have gone unaccomplished However, just because they have gone unaccomplished for the moment, does not mean that they cannot be met before too long. In the end, I hope that there is a greater balance towards the done side. But only time will be the judge of that one.

It's not true that people always end up regretting a great dealof things. Some people do so. I don't regret anything. I would not do my life different if I could and there is nothing I really would have done and I did not do. Ofcourse my life could have been way easier, ofcourse there are still things I like to do, or places I like to visit, but regret it if I am not is something complete different. I also don't believe people who say they regret they did not.... They are who they are. If they could do it all over they also would not do it. Why not? Because also then they wouldn't have the change or courage for it or they would not be able to recognize the opportunity.

Of course it's a normal feeling when we know we could have done better but we did not take the risk of doing so- we ended up regretting. I do, I do regret for few things I supposed to have given my best. But, I never let those things brings me down. I took time to think where did I gone wrong and learn from it. There is no use regretting or blaming ourselves for a long time. It's gone and done and we cannot do anything to turn back the hands of time. So,why let the past condemned us. Move on and learn from it. And try not to commit same mistake again. One thing I've learned from past/bad things "[b]give love without reservation for we never knew what tomorrow may brings. show love to your loved ones and make them feel they are important-so, if tomorrow they're gone (or maybe you will be gone)- there is nothing left undone"[/b]

I do not regret anything. I've done many embarrassing things throughout life and gone through some certainly weird phases...I've hurt people, let people hurt me, but I've never wished that I could go back and change anything. I've turned into the best person I can possibly be at this point in my life, and I only hope to improve. We are a product of our winding paths even if some of us have more bumps in the roads than others...We were all meant to be where we are at this very moment, IMO.

Regrets is part of human wrong decisions. Every person regret due to circumstances they face.We have to make it up despite of bad situations we come out new look.Dealing with that instead we have to move on and make decision properly. Think twice and be wise.
