When I was about 19 years old, I worked for a store that bought and sold used electronics on eBay and made huge profits. Although I was young, I wanted to start a store like the one I worked for.

I talked to my parents, and they discouraged me from it. They said I was too young and needed more experience. Looking back, I am disappointed and regret not starting a store like the one I worked for.

But it was a great lesson teaching me. That parents give the best support, not the best advice. There was another time later I wanted to build a huge website that would cost a lot of money to make.

This time I didn’t care what my parents said, and I built it, and it was a massive success for a while. I had a lot of fun working on it and maintaining it.

Most life lessons we learn the hard way from experience. Therefore we should avoid getting stuck and dwelling on something that did not happen as I did.

We all make mistakes, and mistakes are unavoidable. After all, we are human. No regrets only, lessons learned. If we sat down and regretted falling over as kids, we would never learn to walk.

Life is full of lessons. The faster we learn them, the faster we can move on to the next one. We can never master life and not make stupid decisions that lead to regret. They will happen, and we must look at them as learning opportunities.
