selfish regrets but I do agree with most of them.

That is all golden information. Thanks for the post. It is basically how I try to live my life.

Go for your dreams.
Make time for enjoyment, work only to live, not for what you think you 'want'.
Be straight up, call a spade a spade.
Maintain relationships with good friends, let those who aren't fall by the wayside.
The only thing you can control is your own outlook.

Me too. I could never be a salaried workaholic. I can be an entrepreneurial workaholic, but only because it's fun.

What that advice says about keeping your relationships with friends, the same goes for family. When they die, all you will be left with is the memories of the time you spent together.

What is wrong with being 'selfish'?

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

That's the only one I can identify with.

In our society, we're taught to be selfless. Weird thing is you can't give to anyone, if you don't have yourself covered first. :rock:

I imagine that there are very few people who lie on their deathbed thinking:

"Damn! I sure wish I could have had the chance to spend at least just one more day at the office!"

From my point of view, life is ALL about RELATIONSHIPS, troops. A few off the top of my head are:

• Your relationship with your hopes, dreams, and ambitions.
• Your relationship with your friends, family, and females.
• Your relationship with your God (for those who believe).
• And your relationship with YOURSELF.
