We should of course "regret nothing" but I am actually yet to meet someone who lives this, but I have met several liars who claim it.
Haha that's true. We always have to pick our preferred path whenever we encounter crossroads in our lives. I studied Statistics in university and was very passionate about it, and wanted to become a Statistician back then. But I chose a (unrelated) job that provided a more stable source of income - I still had a meaningful working experience all these years because we always make the best out of what we have - but back in my little mind, this little dream/regret will always be there. Hope I am making sense. Hehe.
The subject I hated the most - but now wish I had been more interested in!
This is a good thing to remember to I believe. Maximising meaning might get a bit more, but is the more enough to warrant the extra input. Perhaps I might get a bit more meaning doing something else, but at what cost?
Yeah agree, there's always that trade off.
