Regrets... irreversible...

Saw some pictures published by someone whom I do not know
A person was tagged
A friend who has been branded 'successful'
She, is a doctor.
Those pictures were taken during a birthday celebration held in the hospital.
It was the birthday of one of the docs.
In those pics, many people were seen.
Doctors, nurses, technicians...
The doctors look so smart and brilliant in the pics.
They are young, capable, intelligent ...
However, the most obvious thing I saw in them was ... ... success!
It is a thing which I never possess and can hardly reach ... ...
I asked myself: How many times have you regretted in your past?
I asked again: How many times are you regretting in your present?
And again I asked: How many times are you going to regret again in the future?
I am speechless...
I presume... ten years from now, if I am still alive, there will still be full of regrets in me, when I look back...
Regret is like a circle, there is no beginning, and there is no ending too...
It will only disappear when I leave the circle.
In other words, regrets will be gone once I am gone too...
I urged my students to study hard, I nag almost every day...
Students fail to understand my motive...
They wonder why this teacher is so grumpy, repeating lines that sound painful to their ears...
They won't be able to know why, not until they have ended up like me, being trapped in my capsule, unable to move... And I could only light up a candle of regrets, hoping to burn the secrets I am keeping, praying that someday I can forget, the cries of my head, the voices of doubt inside my head, are still haunting me every now and then...
I, am just a teacher...
Not an excellent teacher, and I can be as lousy as one could think
Being unsuccessful, how many more times do I need to shed my tears when this thought slips my mind again?
Forgetting, however, might be the only way that indicates the end of all sufferings, no more tears, no more regrets and no more turning back...
I can't, I can never forget, at least when I am still alive...
Regret is when you look back and realize that you could have done more.
Regret is when you realize that what you did was wrong.
Regret is when you look back on life and wish that you could go back and relive a single day of your past.
Regret is remembering someone who meant so much to you and remembering how you did them wrong.
Regret is looking back on something that meant so much to you and never realizing what you really had.
Regret is never saying I Love you.
Regret is going on in life, having so many regrets in life, and never having the ability to do anything about it.
Regret is never remembering to live life to the fullest.
My life, is full of regrets, it will accumulate, day by day, until I eventually burst, drop and perish......
