Good Day to all!
Sometimes there are things we regret in life because of not doing those and we wished we could turn back time. These are the things I regret I haven't done. I regret the day when I was supposed to apply for a job. Here's the story. My best friend don't know how to get to the place we're supposed to apply that why she would go with me. The night we talked, it was all fixed that at around 6:00am, we're going there so that we wouldn't be late. Morning came, I thought she is coming to our house before 6 so I decided to go and check if she's ready then I was surprised when I saw her that she's not prepared. I want to burst but I can't. I waited until 7:00am but we're supposed to be there at exactly 8:00am and late comers will not be entertained. I want to leave her because I'll be late but she's my best friend so I can't but I'm really in need of a job so I waited for her and we came late - 10 minutes late and we're not entertained. I want to burst and be mad to her but I can't. I'm just pretending that I'm okay but deep inside oooohhhhhh. I wished I could turn back time. Then another thing, I regret the day when I didn't tell someone that I like him. Now, he's gone. He's with someone else. How sad. How about you? What are those things you regret you didn't do?

I regret that I dropped all of my subjects during my first year in college. I told mom to rest for 1 semester but something bad happened and my studies were delayed by 3 years. I should be a graduate now but still am on my second year. I changed m major as well. Only if i did not dropped my subject probably it would make a big difference.

I regretted that I did not start my own business when I was younger. I was supposed to start business when I was like 27-30 years old. But now I'll be 35 this year I feel that I was bit too late to start my own business. Currently I am thinking to step up myself and I am tired to work for them but I'd rather to work on my own. I hope I will get an idea on what business I can start and I hope it will be a success.

Hi. Bianca_mergillano. This is a sad story here.
I know that you did not want to be mean to your friend at that time. If she was slow about moving faster, I would have left her sitting right there. I would be determined to apply for this job with or without her. I have regretted not trying for my road test when I should have had. I was about, 20 then. I was a really great driver. I was very enthusiastic. Now, I don't have my driver's license and I want to drive, but I can't. My husband feels that I should have tried for it then because I had more ambition then. I would have probably gotten my driver's license by now too. I also regretted losing my virginity to this guy that was four years older than me when I was 16. I wished that I could have saved my virginity to be with my husband. When I met him, he was a virgin. Now because of me, he knows everything that he can know about intimacy and making love. This guy that I have lost my virginity to was a straight up loser, and he just took great pride into taking my innocence away from me. He used me and took something that I have valued for life.

Dwelling on the past is never good for you,it just adds frustration on you. Besides even if you could turn back time and make things differently, nothing could assure you that things would turn out better for you.
So no, I don't regret anything i've done, I live (mostly) for the present with a little planing for the (not too distant) future.

Hello
In my opinion it's best to not live in the past. You can miss out on great things going on around you in the now, if you spend too much time dwelling on the past and what might have been. I live my life without regret. If one door closes then another will open somewhere, I just have to find it.

there are many things that i regret for not doing in the past... one of them is not listening to my parents' advice when they asked me to look for another job when i just graduate from uni... and now i regret it because i lack of skills to look for a better job and it is so hard for me now to find a better job... anyway, i don't want to look back to the past and i just want to move forward... take care and have a nice day...

Many of the things I regret in my life. Mainly my problem child. I am very sorry, because I do not care, and educate my children properly. I really regret not doing it. I too slumped with my domestic problems, so do not pay attention to my child. I am very sorry.

Regret can be somnething that is very humbling. i think that not following some of dreams and career goals often leave me with a feeling of regret. if I had to do it over again, there are so many different choices i would make.

There are many thing in life that I regret for not doing. I regret not waiting for a better job, when I was in high school. I wanted to get out of the school so I grab the first job opportunities that came along. Those classmates that waited for long, they grab a good job.
