Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
We only regret the chances we didn't take

The statement "We only regret the chances we didn’t take" sounds very cliché, but if you really think about it and truly reflect on the choices you’ve made in the past regarding your career or personal life, if we all did that, majority of us will most likely come to the same conclusion. Life is full of opportunities, yet many of us find ourselves hesitating when faced with the unknown. The fear of failure or the discomfort of stepping outside our comfort zones often holds us back. However, the moments of regret we feel usually stem from the chances we didn’t take rather than the ones we did.
