"Have no regrets." Options

[HakunaMatata]

I've heard several people say "Have no regrets.", and I've always been struck by it. Do you believe that it's good advice? Do you or have you followed that rule?

I myself prefer to keep regrets; keeping regrets keeps me in check by preventing future mistakes, but I understand where the phrase comes from, since why live life if you're just going to regret everything? My friends have explained to me that they follow the phrase because they believe that everything happens for a reason. I find it difficult to learn from my mistakes if I say that they were just meant to be, however, I understand that many people (including some of my best friends) don't feel that way.

I think everyone has regrets but I think that having regrets has been a link to weakness in a lot of people but I don't think that's true. I think the meaning is more towards doing what you believe in and being more headstrong. I don't regret many things that I've done because I've spoke my mind and I'm pretty stubborn.

A lot of people say in my school, senior year blows, nothing will happen, and forget about what you did in the years before and just do great in your senior year. All the people who said that, regret everything, they wished they had done better in those previous years. So.. in my opinion, people choose to do things. And sometimes, regret after.

It's better to have no regets because having regret wastes time wondering what could have happened or what could have been. You just have to move on and live. Lessons are learned from every mistake, so that you can prevent them in the future. Mistakes make you who you are today, having no regret allows you to move on in a positive way.

Just because you have no regrets doesn't necessary mean you are not aware of your mistakes. Not having a regret is when you are aware of your mistakes and yet, at the same time, know enough to learn from it, but not be saddened by it.

Sorry, if it didn't make much sense.

I think it matters what time and what event just happend to use this quote for help. I don't think I would ever be able to never regret everything. Theres things in life that you need to regret from because if you didn't then you wouldn't have ever probably really learned from it.

I completely agree with you Seon Ho. Thats what I believe and I think I can honestly say I have no regrets. I know of my past mistakes and I know they weren't smart and whatnot, but I wouldn't change what I've done in the past because I learned from them and things wouldn't be the same now if I had done differently. *shrug* Thats what I think anyways.

Honestly, I don't regret things, because everything happens for a reason.

Oh no, that made perfect sense. I know several people who can do that, and I'm fairly jealous. I've tried, but sadness seems to help me some, 'cause I can't help regret some things. However, I do commend anyone who can do that.

Thank you! I don't see regrets as a bad thing, they help me make me.

[Mulder]

i just can't have no regrets. i need regrets. i'm reminded of them, so I won't do them again. so, i'll carry my regrets with me.

I turn what most people would consider "regrets" into "events that taught me lessons."

I used to regret a lot of things. They would haunt me constantly.

But then I looked at them differently. I asked myself, "What did I learn from this experience?" Every single time, I could come up with something.

It made me more mature and stronger.

No regrets. Just lessons.
