Most people regret noting living a life true to themselves, most regret working too much missing time with loved ones. Many people regret not having the courage to express their feelings.
This is from the book Top 5 regrets of the dying written by a nurse Bronnie Ware at a nursing home.
Here is a link about the book

- dm319 9y agoI haven't read the book, but I was going to say.. 1. Not saying what you think 2. Not doing what you think is right (even if that would have been a mistake)
- maxxxxx 9y agoIn my 20s and 30s I did what I thought was right and said what I thought. Turned out I was wrong.
- felipemnoa 9y agoI would like to learn from your experiences. Care to give some examples?
- maxxxxx 9y agoInvesting in risk real estate. Starting businesses with people other people warned me about. I thought I had figured it out. Stuff like that.
- bornonline1 9y agoI never do the 1. I don't even care myself what i think and i doubt anyone else does
- dm319 9y agoI don't believe you don't care about what you think. You must have preferences and thoughts about decisions. Sure you may have a low opinion of your own thoughts, but bouncing these ideas off other people and listening to rebuttals and criticisms of your beliefs/decision-making is useful. Later you may feel you've become an expert in something - and then it is very important to express what you think, but also to listen to what other people say too. If we don't do any of this we might as well be machines :)
