Daniel Pink

I think it's great for you.

Have you always done that?

Or I've let- What allowed you to push past it?

Necessity as a mother.

How is your relationship with that daughter now?

You know why you felt that way?

Because you couldn't be everywhere at once.

It's that simple.

And so you apply the lesson going forward.

And so now that I'm at a different point in my life, and I actually have the freedom, the bandwidth, the wherewithal to reach out, you have to do that.

I want you to convey to the person who is struggling with regret that, number one, they're not alone, that this is one of the most common experiences that human beings have.

And it's telling you something important.

And if you just listen to it, you're going to be better off, that it's not something that can bring you down, that when you do it right, it's something that can lift you up.

Because here's the thing, no one's taught us this.

This is the thing.

Somehow we've been taught the idea that, as I said, you should be positive all the time and never be negative and always look forward and never look back.

And that's bad advice.

That's bad advice.

What you should be doing is saying regret is part of the human experience.

It's a signal.
