BY and large, I try to avoid regrets. You weigh things up, make your decisions and then live with what happens. There seems to be little point in continuing then to look back and say you should have done things differently because you don’t know how things would have worked out had you done them another way.

In essence, we live, we learn, we say sorry where we have to, change where we need to, and we move on. We can’t change the past, but we can learn from it in order to shape the future in a better way.
