If you do something that turns out not quite as you had planned, you can almost always put it right, get over it, learn from it. But once you've missed out on something, it's gone. Oh, there will be regrets. There will be the brilliant professor whose class you never took, the relative with whom you never became close, the friend you didn't call, the thanks you didn't express, the dress you didn't buy, the soccer game you missed. Try to keep the list as short as possible. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey.
