Top 5 regrets of the dying

[Lord Percy]

Not sure if current affairs or 'found on the net'. Thought it was appropriate enough to go here.

Quite interesting to consider

Having worked in palliative care I have heard lots of people echo similar, but to add they often said the happiest time of their lives are when they get to retire, even if they have no money, they suddenly have time to enjoy themselves.

2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
When I read this title, I wondered if this meant someone who damaged his health for hard working, but it was rather not spending time with his family.
I see some people who achieve successful career but dies early like 60. This includes my boss in the past too. This really made me think of what happiness is when I heard of his early death.

It makes you wonder if that dross in 'Benefit Street' has got it right and the rest of us wrong !.

Thing is people will read these 5 things and then carry on with their day. And they'll carry on with their lives. And they'll probably get to their death bed and realise "Fuck, I shoulda payed attention to those things and acted upon it."

I fully do not intend to fall into that category.

I dunno, some of these seem kind of obvious, there's a bias in there.

90% of people are going to work for their entire lives just to put a roof over their head, they'll never end up with any significant wealth.

Given that it seems kind of obvious that most are going to say 'I wish I hadn't worked as hard'. They only ever got to buy a few more trinkets, it didn't really change their lives.

If your hard work paid off and allowed you to relax then you probably wouldn't be saying it wasn't worth it.

Currently I feel none of those really apply to me, the only thing I would probably regret is missing my chance with someone when really I could have taken control of the chance and been with her.

Other than that I'm pretty darn happy.
