We as a people don't have a smooth sailing in life. In other words all of us have ups and downs, errors, mistakes, and most of all regrets. Based from your experience, have you ever done something or did not do at all that somehow fall in your regret category? Sometimes, its hard to swallow where we went wrong but we don't have anything else to do but to accept it. Like for instance, the biggest regret in my life is that when I disregard my instinct to stay in one place and continued what I was doing, instead I followed someone elses advice which eventually made my situation more complicated than before for a certain span of time. Then again, every bad thing ends. You go up eventually. Though sometimes I wondered what could've happened if I continued what I just started.

I can't think of any regrets, because in all honesty, every time I screwed up in life, I learned something valuable from it. Therefore, every mistake I made was a good experience for me because it gave me the experience I needed never to make the same mistake twice.

i think my biggest regret would be the time i put into past relationships and friendships that ended up being of no value and i could have constructed my time so much better.. oh well.. live and learn.. but i refuse to waste anymore time on crappy people..

My biggest regret is staying with the wrong person for too many years. I didn't believe in myself and thought that was the best I could do. He really messed with my self-esteem and hurt me badly. I should have walked away, but I didn't. I spent 13 years of my life with him. If I could change one thing, it would be that!

I am happy to say very little has caused me heartache or disappointment If i could do things differently it would be paying more attention to my children when they were young What do i mean taking them to the Zoo,Canada's Wonderland Land,museum.planetarium etc you get the picture It was not like i was living the wild life I was going to night school to get an education I did manage that and my wife and children understand that the good life we have now was because daddy was very busy providing for their future So I am a lucky dude and have no remorse or regrets Good Luck and Have a Great Day

This is a common question but a good one. I don't regret anything. I have made my share of mistakes, and they have been huge. But I don't regret because I learned something from everyone of them. That's how I learned the most valuable lessons in life, and how I have gotten some of my largest treasures.
