Rick: My biggest regret is in january 20 17, i was at a restaurant with my family. And as we were getting ready to leave, an ess u v pulled up and went to the hostess desk. His wife looked at him and said, that looks like jimmy buffit. You should go say something. He says he convinced himself it wasn't jimmy buffet but then realized it was. Ricks regrets not saying anything because he didn't step up and do something.
“Embedded in songs, emblazoned on skin, and embraced by sages, the anti-regret philosophy is so self-evidently true that it’s more often asserted than argued.” So writes Daniel Pink in his new book, “The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward.” There’s just one problem, he adds. The “no regrets” philosophy? It’s hogwash. Regrets may churn our stomachs, but they also improve our decisions and strengthen our values. They’re a photographic negative of the good life.
