后悔备忘录-序言

Life is filled with regrets. Ask anyone around you what their regrets are and they usually have no difficulty coming up with many items on their "regret list."

And for some reason our twenties are ripe for a field of regrets.

 

Perhaps it's because as we get older we look back on that period of adulthood¹ as the height of freedom and autonomy².

 

As move into middle age, we look back and wish that we had made better choices and taken more opportunities.

 

Make a list of things that we regret not doing in our 20s.
