What regret do you think you would have ten years from now?

Asked by bumwithablackberry (932points) September 24th, 2009

Something, if anything, that your going to kick yourself for not doing. I always try and find the BEST way, but really that’s not easy if at all possible to do consistently, and wonder what it is that I need to do, that I won’t.

um what? Can you clarify what the question is here? I can’t find a connection between the title and the details…

Your title doesn’t relate to your question. I call it being modded

I would only regret spending my time worrying about whether or not every little decision that I make now is going to be something that I regret down the road.

I don’t understand.
If you know you’re going to regret doing something, don’t do it.

Hopefully not that I didn’t try hard enough in school… Maybe that I tried too hard. Although in hindsight I usually never regret that. I mostly try to live my life for hindsight (so it sucks in the present but I don’t have many regrets). It tends to work for me.

The same I have now, that I should have kept my daughter safe and I didn’t. I underestimated the danger.

I understand, I think. My answer is that I probably will wish that I exercised more. I’m working on it!

I can totally understand the q and it does relate to the details – in 10 years there won’t be anything for me to regret because I don’t live my life with regret, ever

@bumwithablackberry: Thanks for editing it! Makes a lot more sense now! Like @ubersiren probably not exercising enough, possibly eating so many sweets! Diabetes runs in my family, and I really try to avoid them, but I have a terrible sweet tooth!

@La_chica_gomela haha same thing for salt… I have a history of heart disease in my family and a majorly type-A personality, but I just can’t stand some foods without drowning them in salt…. it’s not good.
