do u alaway hear the voices in your ears: " i m so regret that i spend 100 on the new dress" "i m so regret that i went out with Sam that day" "i m so regret i didn't make effort in my high school"....
i met some people use this word a lot. and i said from heart everytime "it's meaningless for u to say this now, where have you been then?"
aren't we denying ourselves when we are regretting? What we've done revealed what we were. We make us better by learning from those "bad days" . They are good for us in a way, are they?

I think everyone would do so.It is possible that by regretting they will get transient slacken,but it is meaningless and harmful after all.If you are sentiment about what you have regret,you will lose more.Let the happened pass,learn from what you have failed in and tomorrow will be more brilliant.

I think all of us have those voices in our head saying "why did I do that, I shouldn't have..., I should have...., if only I would have....., I should have said......, and so on) I have come to realize that you have to live without looking back. You can't fret over what ifs, should haves and could haves. There is nothing you can do to change the past but you can change the future. If youdon't like something aobut your past then do something different in the future so you don't have these regrets.

Thank u~ that's the exactly thing i want to express!
i do believe we are better not to spend too much time in regreting what we've done wrong, we could make it up, could fix it, or else we just get over it and let it go. Nothing has past should stop us going on our life~

There is no such thing as a life without any regrets.We are humanbeings and are likely to make mistakes or errors in life. These experiences in one way or the other makes us stronger. However, regrets can become either burdens that interfere with your present happiness and restrict your future, or motivation to move forward.

Everybody here regrets doing doing one thing or another and we all learn from mistakes. Others learn the hard way and never repeats the same mistake again. Sometimes i go out and buy an outfit, when i get home my partner says he does not like it at all and if i ask a friend and tells me it is not nice, i will not wear that dress again, i live with the regret but i wont buy such a dress again.

haha, i have to admit that it happens to everybody, including me. But i still think this is good. See, given that we regret buying the stuff, the money still gone.
i will consider to give the unpleasent things to other people, which i can save the money to buy them another~
thanks for your post~

dear friends , I agree with what you said. I used to make many many mistakes when I was doing my work, made some friends and so on leading to lost much time and lossing some friends, and I often got regret that time.
till now , i still make some mistakes sometime.However ,now, not like before, when I try to do something ,i will make my best to consider all over the things which may bring me troubles So that I can finish it with less time and fewer mistakes.
in this way, I thanks the "bad day" I have experienced~
