10 Regrets You Can Avoid

By James Altucher


Lou Costello said, “This was the best ice cream soda I ever tasted” and then he died.
I’m not sure if the final words of anyone have any meaning. But there’s the myth they might be words of magic, teetering on that border between Earth and…whatever.
My regrets can be summed up by the word: “Don’t”.
- DON’T BUY THINGS.
Buy experiences. A thing is a house. An experience is a trip.
An experience is a visit to that girl or guy on the other side of the world who said, “maybe”.
An experience is an invitation to meaning instead of material.
- DON’T DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO.
You think you have time to get out of it. But you don’t.
And then it happens. And then it’s too late. And then it’s something you did.
A black ink stamp leaving it’s mark on your wrist. You went to the party and the next day, all blurry and inky, it shows and everyone can see.
- DON’T TRY TO PLEASE PEOPLE.
