REGRET<br />
Regret. The things I could have done differently or<br />
learned sooner. There’s so much knowledge out there,<br />
so much information, so many ways to get better.<br />
And we make so many mistakes.<br />
We are the product of our mistakes.<br />
And oftentimes the lesson is sitting in front of our<br />
face: There to be learned.<br />
But we miss it or we don’t pay attention to it or we<br />
think we know better.<br />
Until it punches us in the face:<br />
The most important thing to learn is that we have so<br />
much to learn.<br />
We all do. And we can learn from school and people<br />
and experience and life.<br />
But you have to process the information. Absorb it.<br />
You have to accept it. You have to open your mind<br />
—FREE YOUR MIND—so that you can learn and make real<br />
progress.<br />
Are there things I regret and things I wish I had<br />
done differently? Of course. Hindsight is 20/20 and<br />
looking back, who wouldn’t want to take another go at<br />
something and improve <strong>by</strong> doing it again? And then why<br />
not do it again, and again, and again?<br />
Who wouldn’t want to do things over until you have it<br />
perfect?<br />
But the fact is: You don’t get that chance. You get<br />
one shot.
