We spend hours and hours feeling why we did not do something? Or why we did that specific thing?
My greatest regret was not giving my best in the whole A/L years. I spent my time going after novels rather than my study notes. I was confident that I could study whatever I do. But I ended up wrong. Without hardworking in something no one can achieve anything and I realized that too late. Had I thought of concentrating on my studies more, then my life would have been much better and different. Who knows?

But I've got over that regret. More or less. SO what is your greatest regret? Something that might have changed your whole life!

I am vise versa of you. I had some personal issues in my A/level and was in the worst family situation in my life. I didn't study well, but I don't regret for that. I regret for not watching much movies and very low rate of reading... That was the wasted 4 years of my life . I am still unable to come over this. I feel like I have lost precious time.

You regret not watching enough movies? What is it with you and movies? My novels are my escape from reality. I like creating an alternate universe in my mind, using the plot lines of those novels.
Meanwhile, movies make me think. I prefer those which confuse me to the core. But your regret is not watching movies??? Curious...

My regret was that I could not satisfy my mother's expectations, though she did not show it a lot. Had I studies well, maybe things would have been different. But the life I have now is something I never even imagined. That failure I had, opened up a lot of opportunities for me. In that way, I'm fortunate.
