My biggest regrets in school and life
I don't have many regrets. Most of the things don't make any sense to think "what if" or "I should have". For what? Can't change the past.
However, I do regret
1. Reading all the books that I was forced to read in school. A few of them were just boring, wrong or disgusting. The diary of Adrian Mole was among the most stupid ones to be read, and to this date I hate that book. I should have just skipped the ones I found a strong disgust to finish. Life is too short. Give them a try and if it's as bad as Adrian Mole, move on.
2. Not skipping (more) school. I did it only once or twice, and those were for valid reasons. I could have learned more by skipping a few more classes.
3. Not following (more of) my dreams.
4. Being too often nice and doing what is expected. Listening to others and 'more adults' advice can be rationally good but that isn't just always good. A few very specific times I really regret listening to others, or being nice.
