Daniel Pink

And so have that conversation.

You know what that person 10 years from now wants you to do.

And you don't want to have the conversation where 10 years from now, you have to tell the you of 2036, hey, I wimped out.

I blew it.

I chickened out.

Moral.

You're at a juncture in your life.

You have two choices.

You can take the high road.

You can take the low road.

And when you take the low road, when you do the wrong thing, most of us, most of the time, regret it.

And in this category, it was the smallest category, but very, very, very deeply held.

And this is sort of the weird thing about this topic of regret is that the more you go into it, at least for me, the better I feel about human beings.

Because what this suggests to us is that...

Most of us are good.

Most of us want to be good.

And most of us feel shitty when we're not good.

I think that like 95% of 98% of us are good people who want to do the right thing.

And when we don't do the right thing, we feel bad about that.

98% of people like want to do the right thing and feel bad.
