I have no regrets.......................

 

..................................about being a History major in college (of course 1973 was a long time ago).

choices...........................

Now that the proposition of crossing Antarctica by myself had taken hold, my choices were to see it through or to live with regret for the rest of my life. . . .

I wasn't sure what worried me more; skiing 1,700 kilometers or spending two months alone.

-Felicity Aston, Alone In Antarctica

Lightly........................

 Touch everything lightly, enjoy it while it is within your reach, and no not regret it when it is gone, since that is the nature of things.

-Massimo Pigliucci

Regrets............

 But I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried.  And I knew that that would haunt me every day. So when I thought about it that way it was an incredibly easy decision.

-Jeff Bezos, from here

As Louis L' Amour said......................

 ..........................there is always a faster gun:

12. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. There will always be someone getting richer than you in life and the markets. And with the advent of social media, that means people throwing this fact in your face constantly.

This one is not easy but defining what a rich life means to you can help avoid unnecessary envy and regret.

-Ben Carlson, from this list at this post

"regret minimization framework".....................

      To make the decision, Bezos used a mental exercise that would become a famous part of his risk-calculation process.  He called it a "regret minimization framework."  He would imagine what he would feel when he turned eighty and thought back to the decision.  "I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have," he explains.  "I knew that when I was eighty, I was not going to regret having tried this.  I was not going to regret trying to participate in this thing called the internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal.  I knew that if I failed, I wouldn't regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried.  I knew that that would haunt me every day.

-Walter Isaacson, from the Introduction to Invent & Wander:  The Collected Writings of Jeff Bezos

Regrets, I've had a few, but then again............
