Biggest regrets in life?

Montroseee

I was a fairly decent rugby player back in my school days but put it on hold during 6th year for the studies. Unlikely I would have ever made a career out of it but really wish I started playing again in college if only for the social aspect.

I'm sure this is quite a minor regret to have in the grand scheme of things but I do think back about the waste of talent.

Anyway enough about me, what are your biggest regrets?

Not sticking with college.

I had a good chance of taking a leap frog into another course if i did 2 years in a PLC. But i got pneumonia from a sh1tty dorm i was staying in and never went back.

I regret not trying a bit harder to keep the love of my life....... 15 years have passed and I still think about her everyday.

Shane-KornSpace

Dropping out of college.
Working crap jobs since then.
Will go back as soon finances permit it.

Non, je ne regrette rien


Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien



No, nothing of nothing
No! I don't feel sorry about anything
Not the good things people have done to me
Not the bad things, it's all the same to me.

No, nothing of nothing
No! I don't feel sorry about anything
It's paid for, removed, forgotten,
I'm happy of the past

With my memories
I lit up the fire
My troubles, my pleasures
I don't need them anymore

Broomed away my love stories
And all their tremble
Broomed away for always
I start again from zero

Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Because my life, my joys
Today, they begin with you



Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal; tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé !

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !

Balayées les amours
Et tous leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal; tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi
Try to align
English
Je Ne Regrette Rien

Not one bit of regret….

Too few to mention.

Be careful, you don't want to end up like that knob Ross from the Oirish Times.

Picking my profession... oh if I could go back in time.

Cantremember

Not giving more time and attention to what I wanted to do. But I'm working on it!

eamonnq

Getting phone numbers from females on a night out and then not ringing them.

Red Nissan

It goes back to my school daz, a shy lovesic boy on a bus and suddenly the girl I longed for was seated beside me.

We got along grand like, she told me her name and asked me to call over.

To this day I can't remember her name.

Giving up sport in secondary school. The longer you leave it, the harder it is to get fit again.

You can get fit in no time, its never to late to start training again.

splashthecash

Not keeping up with playing for my local GAA club - stopped when I was about 15\16 and only going back now (33 years old) - feel like I missed out a lot socially now

I know that I'll regret not spending enough time with my kids after they have grown up - even though I am very aware to spend time with them....I foresee me still thinking I didn't spend enough in years to come

Not having more fun in college, even though at the time I enjoyed it - but I could've done so much more...

Mr. CooL ICE

I regret very little. I've done lots of stupid sh1t in my life, but put it down to a learning experience. The times I have repeated the stupid sh1t is what I regret.

Getting deported from Israel for 'political activism' :rolleyes:

I punched out an IDF member for being a fúcking Zionist bigot & spent 6 weeks in a prison hospital for the kicking his mates gave me :pac:

A woman who was interested in me a few years ago but i didnt make much of an effort as she wore horrible glasses and had braces. She is currently a model working in London. Absolutely stunning, personality is the key lads.

Tiddlypeeps

Not keeping better contact with old friends. I've lost touch with a lot of people I really liked just because of laziness. A while back I ran into a guy who I was best friends with in school but hadn't talked to in years, we had just drifted apart. We got back in touch after that and started hanging out again. A few months later he was diagnosed with cancer and a year later he died. He was only mid 20's. You always think you have loads of time for that type of thing, but you can never know how long you really have.

leaving college to work in a club in ibiza.
Back in college now tho but wasted 2 years on partying.

There was this girl in secondary school and I was really decently sound to her (no I wasn't interested either), when the lot of the boys were dismissive of her. Glasses, braces, hair tied back, plain.

Seen her college 1st year and it was identical that Anne Hataway transformation in the Princess Diaries, it was so jarring, I wasn't even sure it was her after she said hello. Everybody I know was like "did you see her, yeah I know incredible change, she looks damn near exotic"

Then she gets into a long term relationship with one of the GAA lads back home who were dismissive of her. And no they weren't "gaming" her, before this transformation either. Facepalm

Anyone that says that is lying to themselves. You can get over thing quickly, but I don't believe anyone can say they have absolutly no regrets. You wouldn't change anything you've ever done?

Yeah, just go to where she lives and grab her, what's the worst that can happen. It's only been 15 years like.

Not clever to punch a man with an assault rifle. I got detained at Kalandia checkpoint outside Jerusalem for five hours in the heat for telling one to "f*ck off". I wouldn't like to imagine what would happen if I hit one.

Got propositioned by an ugly bespectacled plain girl in college, she took off her glasses and turned out to be beautiful Israeli model and Mossad agent, so i punched her and she hospitalised me by using Krav Maga, have regretted it ever since.

Broken nose, fractured eye socket/cheekbone, lost 3 teeth, 4 busted ribs & a punctured lung (not that I was any poster boy before hand )

The repercussions of taking a moral stand :pac::pac::pac:

The difference is that now it's about being healthy, getting fit, losing weight...it's much more enjoyable and less of an uphill climb when your motivation is purely for fun, competition and socialising like when you're a fit teenager!

This addresses this thread. Stick with it until you get past the arty stuff.

Admit it, you don't regret it at all. You're actually quite proud of it?:rolleyes:

Not having lived in New York for at least a year in my 20's.
Still live in hope to.

Some tooled up, power mad, teenage asshole harrassing/intimidating a bunch of Arab kids for doing nothing more than playing football in the street, in their own neighbourhood, gets a slap off a thick Paddy when he turned his aggression on me for simply asking him what he thought he was achieving by his actions

You be the judge...oh wait, you already have judged me, back at you :rolleyes:

Oorrr... Some terrified kid sent to war doing exactly what he's been ordered to do by one of the strictest army's in the world and getting hassle off some self righteous hipster paddy while he's trying to keep himself alive so he can finish out his conscription and go back to normal life? Tis all about perspective...

Dropping out of animation college. Sure, the place was a ****hole and the people in it were a veritable who's-who of scumbags but if I had stuck to it, I would've had a Bachelor's Degree in Animation and possible be living in England at this point.

I used to regret a lot of stuff. Now when I am older I think I did what I did, rather be sorry for what I did rather than what I didn't do.

I'm not saying a word about whether what you did was good/bad or indifferent. It's just this thread is about regrets. And you seem not to regret doing what you did at all. You seem proud of it - which you're perfectly entitled to be.

Wabbit Ears

I have regrets, mainly around girls I didn't go out with/sleep with when I had opportunity.

All pretty meaningless, I take responsibility for everything Ive ever done, its what made me the a$$hole I am now, and I love me.
