A magazine once conducted a questionnaire survey among people over 60 years old across the country: What do you regret most?
Listed 10 things that people easily regret in their lives for respondents to choose from. After collecting valid questionnaires and conducting statistical analysis, we came up with this result.
No. 1: Not working hard enough when you were young resulted in accomplishing nothing (75%)
As the saying goes, if a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable. In your youth, you often encounter so many temptations and even traps. When you suddenly wake up, maybe your hair will turn gray early and you will accomplish nothing.
While you still have time, energy, and stamina, quickly make a practical plan, and then start moving forward perseveringly, so that you can look back on it in old age with fewer regrets.
Second place: Choosing the wrong career when you were young (70%)
Three college students were assigned to work in a certain agency at the same time. One year later, one of them moved to another company because he was unwilling to look at the supervisor's face all day long. The other two were still living a stable nine-to-five life. Another year later, another student decided to resign and go to work, but the remaining one was still unmoved.
A few years later, the three of them got together. The classmate who went to the company became a senior executive, the one who went to work became a multi-millionaire, and the one who stayed in the office was still spending his remaining money amidst the scolding of the leader. So many "good times".
The first factor many people consider when choosing a career is stable income and a stable and comfortable life, and they are less willing to face challenging opportunities. Without pressure, there will naturally be a lack of motivation, and without motivation, potential will be buried.
Third place: Improper education of children (62%)
Children are the continuation of their own lives and hopes. Many people will do everything for their children, but hoping that their children will become successful or that their daughters will become successful may be just the good wishes of parents. For their children, they may just want to be simple, happy ordinary people.
Many parents use force, supervision, or even sticks to force their children to develop along the lines they designed. But in the end, most parents have to be disappointed with reality, except for a very small number of so-called "successful people". They also couldn't help but lament that their children had lived too hard these years and did not enjoy the happiness and sunshine they deserved.
Fourth place: Failure to cherish your partner (57%)
Only when you have been drunk can you know how strong the wine is, and only when you have been in love can you know how important it is. Love is something that you don’t know how to cherish when you have it, but you know how precious it is only after you lose it. There are two substances that humans will never invent, one is love-forgetting water, and the other is regret medicine. If you don’t cherish, considerate and understand when you are young, it will be too late to regret when you are old.
No. 5: Not treating your body well (49%)
"The body is the capital of revolution" will never go out of style. Many people exchange their bodies for everything before the age of 60, and exchange everything for their health after the age of 60.
Nothing in the world is more important than your own health. Without a good body, what does it matter if you have millions of dollars in wealth?
