"Regrets,I've had a few.But still,I keep going forward with them," a pop star sang in his song in 1969.The idea of the song is attractive:what's done is done,so we should treat regrets properly and move on.Some people take a step further.They say they have no regrets at all and that life should be lived without looking back.
It is easier said than done,though.In 2020,Professor Graham launched the World Regret Survey,the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken.With his research team,Graham asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, "How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?" 78 percent of them said that regrets are at least an occasional part of their life;roughly 21 percent said they feel regretful all the time.Only 1 percent said they never feel regretful.
If you belong to the "no regrets" group,you might think that all regrets are the source of unhappiness.Although filling your life with regrets is indeed bad for you,going to the other extreme may be even worse.To get rid of your regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow.Instead,it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again.
To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regrets in their proper place.Your regrets can teach you to become smarter and more successful-if you let it.First,make a list of your regrets,note how you want to change your behavior,and outline your resolutions going forward.Next,list all the ways that you can invest in your own skills and get started right now.
Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains.To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it,including the mistakes,and moving forward.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
