Of course, with age, each person becomes wiser and more experienced. And it is thanks to time that he learns the value of what is happening and missed moments. But, unfortunately, over the years also comes an understanding of what is already impossible to return, repeat or change.
Therefore, almost everyone knows the phrase: "I'm so sorry that I did not do this before." Remember that time does not stand still, it inexorably rushes forward. Do not waste it, so as not to regret later simple things that you could do and try. We have compiled a small list of situations that make the heart contract in attempts to justify the missed moment in youth!
1. Refuse to travel whenever possible.
When you get older, traveling becomes problematic and difficult, because you can not recognize the world alone alone: now only with family and children. And this option dictates certain rules, which are not always easy to reconcile. Travel until you are burdened, and use any opportunity for this.
2. Unwillingness to learn foreign languages.
You know, I do not speak Spanish.
In youth, many things are too carefree and simple. For example, most do not pay attention to foreign languages, which in the future can be very useful. The most horrible thing is the frightening realization that you have studied a foreign language for several years, but do not remember anything. Believe me, it becomes more difficult to study with the years, so do not waste time. Absorb any knowledge like a sponge!
3. A waste of time for a bad relationship.
Bad relationships almost always negatively affect ourselves, so it is so important to "get out" of such relations in time. The most important thing is that you will experience real relief after such a step. Decide and do not think about several times - you will regret that you did not make this step much earlier.
4. Refusal of sunscreen.
Toast. A piece of bread.
You know how many problems you can avoid if you use sunscreen in time. For example, wrinkles, moles and skin cancer are direct followers of overly intense sun baths in youth. Do not neglect your health, take care of him from the youth!
5. The missed opportunity to go to a concert of your favorite artist.
Time spares no one, and celebrities too, so if you are fond of a singer or an actor in your youth, try to see his work in live performance.
6. Fear of doing wrong or doing something wrong.
All people are wrong and sometimes do not act as we would like. But the more terrible thing is that you could do something, but you were frightened of something. Believe me, after growing up, you can never answer clearly what exactly you were afraid of, and therefore, regret will follow you.
7. Unwillingness to go in for sports.
No
Too many young people spend their free time lying on the couch. But, when age takes its toll, they start to wonder about why they did not do it before. Do not repeat other people's mistakes and temper your own organism from a young age. Your body and health will say in old age many thanks for this.
8. Allow others to determine your place in life for a gender difference.
Forget about it forever! Yes, women should be able to cook, and men - to make money, but do not allow someone to limit your activities only this. In today's world, men and women can choose only what is close to their nature. Therefore, do not pay attention to the gender vestiges of the past and stereotypes - it is high time for them to disappear!
9. Work on a terrible job.
I must get out of here. I think I'm going to lose her.
In youth, there is almost always not enough money, but you try to do small things: you take a low-paid job, endure an unjust employer and you do not want to raise money in vain. With age, this problem can take root so much that once you wake up, you will not understand why you lived your life, because you will not have a penny left for your soul, and the work will not be nice. Look for your favorite thing from youth and constantly cultivate!
10. Learning through the sleeves.
What a pity that when you are young, you are not serious about studying, hoping to make up for everything in the future. But after a while comes the realization that there is almost no time for training and it is necessary to be content with what I received at school. And it's not just that the assessments supposedly determined your place in life. Studying at school helps to learn accuracy, responsibility and perseverance, and these qualities are indispensable for a good worker.
11. Misunderstanding of their own beauty.
Many young people spend almost all their youth regretting that they are not as beautiful as they would like. Understand, youth is one of the most beautiful phases in a person's life, when everything is fine. And your appearance too. You will change, learn to highlight the strengths of your beauty, but you will regret all life that you did not value yourself in your youth!
12. Do not be afraid to say "I love you".
I love you!
With age, you stop worrying because love does not return. But always remember those feelings that experienced with this or that person. Therefore, never be afraid to admit your own feelings - it allows you to experience the unique sensations that you will remember all your life!
13. Ignore the advice of parents.
In his youth, no one likes to listen to parents' instructions and advice, which seem to be something awkward and stupid. Know that almost everything that parents say turns out to be the truth of life. Or maybe you should listen?
14. To be selfish.
My life is the hardest, than anyone on the planet. And yes, I included children in this starving, so do not ask!
Egoism is in every person, but it is different in measure. In youth, many spend time only on self-centered utterances and actions. It's stupid!
15. Too much to think about what others will say.
Do not let the haters discourage you from what you are doing!
Most often young people spend a lot of time in trying to please others. Forget about it and always do what your heart tells ONLY. Do not listen to someone else's opinion, which can harm your actions and "steal" your opportunity.
16. Take other people's dreams for their own.
Mutual support is a wonderful thing, which must necessarily be in every respect. But it should never grow into your life goal, otherwise you risk losing yourself in other people's dreams and living someone else's life!
17. A waste of time for too slow and measured pastime.
Why not slow down for weeks? Why not bog down in the remnants of life and do nothing?
Old people constantly look back, regretting the empty and spent time in trying to find themselves. Act quickly. Sometimes the first thing that comes to mind and becomes the most correct!
18. Keep offense, especially on those who are dear.
To keep a grudge against someone means giving up a place in your head for free.
Is there any point in experiencing anew anger, anger or similar feelings? Absolutely nothing, just a waste of time.
19. Do not stand up for yourself.
Yes, you go where you are, insolent!
People of age never allow themselves to be offended. We advise in youth to do exactly the same and always give change to abusers.
20. Refusal to volunteer.
I am a volunteer. I volunteer as I should.
Of course, you most likely will not regret all your life that you did not take part in any sort of rally of altruistic volunteers. But with age you will begin to regret that you did not make a lot of effort to make the world a little kinder and more beautiful. Treat donated help as a contribution to your future. Good always comes back!
21. Neglect your teeth.
In youth, it seems that health and all the problems associated with it, are manifested only in old age. But, when in 30 years the first molar tooth falls out (and maybe not the first one), and you put an implant, fun is not enough. Watch your teeth from youth, because dental treatment is a costly and unpleasant procedure. The disease is easier to prevent than treat!
22. Missing the moment to ask questions of interest to grandparents before they die.
Most of us understand too late what knowledge and experience grandparents could share. Just imagine how many answers to the questions you are interested in are in their heads !? Do not waste time, ask, be interested, be surprised! The second attempt will not be!
23. Too much time to devote to work.
No one argues that without work a person can not personally improve. But it is always worth remembering that work should not be a priority in your life, even in youth. In addition to it, you should always find time for family, friends, hobbies and other activities.
24. Do not learn to cook at least one awesome dish.
Of course, not everyone by nature is given a culinary talent, but you must learn to cook at least one dish, which will later become your crown. With the help of it you can always surprise guests and relatives, and this is much more important than any parties and special holidays.
25. It is not enough to appreciate important points.
In youth, almost all try to embrace the immensity, and all the time somewhere in a hurry, forgetting to look around. And at this moment there are really important things around, which you can miss in the bustle. Stop sometimes to see the beauty of the world around you and to feel the value of important moments that will not be repeated.
26. Throw the business started unfinished.
If in your youth you dreamed of becoming a nurse or an artist, and even enrolled in the relevant courses, then do not give up after the first failure. With age comes the realization that dreams help to choose the right path that follows us throughout life. Do not give up your plans just because it's unrewarding, laborious or stupid in the opinion of others.
27. Do not master some amazing trick.
Throughout your life, you will have a bunch of parties and celebrations. Agree that being in the spotlight at such parties is cool! If you learn to perform interesting trick, card trick or juggling with objects in your youth, then you can always surprise others with your eccentricity.
28. Let others dictate to you the rules of life.
Never follow everything that others say. In life, there will always be criticism, so rely on the opinions of people like you - too stupid. Follow your own path and pay less attention to third-party comments about your life.
29. Constantly cling to relationships that have outlived themselves.
We are not friends
Over time, people move away from each other. This is a normal process, allowing you to understand whether your person is a person or not. So do not waste time on what is leaving you. Release unnecessary relationships and take a step forward.
30. Do not give enough time to play with children.
Over the years, you begin to realize that in your youth you have not paid enough attention to children, and time for games, unfortunately, has passed. Always remember that work and career growth should be in second place after your family.
31. Never take on too much.
I like to take risks. Because I feel that this is in my nature.
In youth, many people are afraid of responsibility and failure, so they often retreat after misses. Never be afraid to try again. In old age, you will be grateful to yourself for taking a risk, it does not matter whether you won or lost.
32. Do not waste time exploring the Internet and its capabilities.
You will help me, I will help you
The Internet, on the one hand, has a negative impact on society, taking people too much time. But the problem is that most people simply do not know or do not know how to extract useful information from the World Wide Web. Learn to use the Internet correctly. This will allow you to learn, and even earn money, because the network has a huge number of vacancies that may be of interest to young people!
33. Too much to worry about anything.
Do not worry be happy!
Unfortunately, most of our experiences, especially in youth, are causeless and never come true. Do not waste time on this. Just live and be happy.
34. Get into an unpleasant story.
Believe me, situations are different, but the most unpleasant is involvement in any story that can compromise you. Bypass such things side, they do not need you!
35. Do not spend enough time with family and friends.
No one can say how much time his life gave him. Therefore, try to meet with your relatives and relatives as often as possible, so that you do not regret the lost opportunities to see, talk, embrace.
36. Avoid public speaking.
Of course, public speaking can not be liked by absolutely everyone, let alone regret. But, according to polls, many elderly people regret that they have never experienced exciting emotions before a crowd of spectators. You must try it in your youth. In any case, you will have something to remember!
37. Do not be grateful.
To understand the whole meaning of the word "gratitude", it can take years. But as a result, you always realize that any thing in the world is a gift that we must share in order to make the world a little better!
