Regrets

[MenInG]

Have you had any?

Simple question but am sure when we look in our hearts, we will find plenty to talk about.

 

[Abdullah]

yes i regret the poor planning which if done properly would hve ensured that pakistan would have had had a built up to the aus series like they did the england one

 

[Mamoon]

Used to have regrets and they held me back. However, with much difficulty, I have accepted the fact that the past cannot be rewritten, and now I'm in a much better mental state.

 

[MenInG]

My regret is that I did not talk to my father or see him often enough but I also regret not taking another profession!

 

[Abdullah]

getting too emotionally attached with the pakistan cricket team.
effects my mood and takes up a lot of time

Would you have it any other way?

 

[Anchorman]

Too many to list down. However, like [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] said, the past cannot be written and it's better to accept your fate.

One thing I'd like to say to whoever's reading this, please stop being petty and by that I mean don't let small things get in the way of the bigger picture. Please don't let your ego hold you down. Please spend as much time as you can with your loved ones because trust me, it's never enough once they inevitably leave you. But that's life.

Always strive to be the best person you can possibly be, whatever your representation of that is. You only get one shot at this. No re-takes. Don't leave things for tomorrow, start today. Fulfill your potential. Be someone who you'd be proud to look at in the mirror everyday because like one of my favorite fighters once said :

"The true definition of hell is dying and getting to meet the person you could've been."

 

[Black Zero]

My regrets about my childhood:

Spent too much time on "education/studies"
Gave too much importance to elders, teachers and neighbors
Studied and got impressed by Sufism
Believed PTV news, Nassem Hijazi etc.

 

[The_KING]

Wasted too much time with the wrong people in my GCSE days which affected my grades massively.
Took too long to find a job. Only just recently at 23 have I found my very first job.

 

[Syed1]

1. I regret not taking a keen interest in cricket when I was young since I was a very competent opening batsmen. I took it as 'fun' and never really joined any academy or any coaching camp even though my performances in hard ball cricket were very good Alhumdulilah.

2. I regret not keeping more in touch with my buddies from highschool and university. At present, I have only one or two close friends left. The rest are just contacts on my phone list.

3. I regret not having the opportunity to live with my parents (which may change soon iA)

 

[Slog]

1. Wasting way too much time watching pointless cricket matches. There was a time when i was 13-16 where I used to watch EVERY DAMN ODI. In recent years its been all Pakistani test matches, majority Pak ODIs and English and Aussie summers. Want to cut down further.

2. For not being selfish. I have sacrificed many small things for other people and I feel they dont even remember or know about it let alone acknowledge it and be thankful.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Regret not learning from my mistakes, and making the same ones again and again.

But like a couple people have already mentioned, the past is to learn from and not dwell in. The future is unpredictable and uncontrollable. The present and the choices you make right now, are all that matter.

 

[proud_pakistani]

My major regret would be not learning a musical instrument. I love the guitar and wish I had learnt to play when I had the chance but never was I able to put in the hard work.

Also I wished I had played more football. I spent way too much time playing cricket.

 

[Abdullah]

Would you have it any other way?

Now thats a different question!!! on most days the answer to this is off course not!

 

[Major]

My only regret was not taking up an opportunity to talk or even be friends with this girl who i had a mad crush on. i was crazy about her, and many opportunities presented where i could had made a move but i never bothered to because i was to shy.

I know these things are childish and quite immature and shouldn't even count as a regret, but i still have this regret because opportunities were presented where i could had made use of this infatuation.

 

[PakLFC]

Not getting married to the first lady I had feelings for. Was to shy to express my feelings to her then, later I learnt that she also had strong feelings for me as well. You can imagine how that made me feel.

 

[aloo paratha]

Caring about liars.

Why don't you give it a shot now ? If it goes wrong, you won't get her, but if it does ? You got nothing to lose and everything to win.

 

[shaz619]

Sought of but I can't find myself convincing the person I was in the past to take a different approach, what hasn't helped me were external factors beyond my control. Despite being at the lowest of lows I never find myself throwing in the towel.

Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we shall fear no evil.

 

[Rayyman]

High school had a lot of regrets for me. You can't change the past though, you have to focus on the present and prepare for the future. Let the past and the future be motivation for what you want to do in the moment.

 

[Thivagar]

My Procrastination habit is my biggest regret. I'm even doing it as of now. Missed lot of great opportunities because of that.

yep. regret not taking up a musical instrument

 

[CricketCartoons]

Not being born in a rich family. Was forced to work to reach middle class.

 

[Thivagar]

My biggest regret is not being a little stubborn brat. I always got the "good boy" name when i was a kid but I didn't get all those toys and chocolates that I wanted. I'll be happy to substitute my "good boy" image for all those chocolates and toys.

 

[Hasan123]

Investing too much time in sports
Not working hard enough at school/college
Hanging with the certain people
