Bloom's Taxonomy Book Review Questions: What lesson did you learn from the story?

On regrets, Morrie said, "What do regrets show? Unfufilled lives, disatisfied lives."

"This culture doesn't encourage you to think about choices until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks-we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all that I want? Is something missing?"

What I have learnt from this is that we should use the feeling of regret slightly differently. Instead of saying, "I should have done this when I was younger," Say, "Let me go and do this, I may have mised it before, but I'm not going to miss it again." Let it serve as an encouragement to you. Make your regrets your new purpose in life, to finish what you didn't do before.
