Regret has been a really popular subject in psychology over the last few years. Several studies have tried to figure out what experiences people regret the most in life.
近年來,在心理學領域,後悔是一個很熱門的話題。有幾個研究嘗試尋找人們在生命中感到最後悔的事情。
One of the most interesting discoveries was that younger and older people tend to regret very different things.
最有趣的一個發現就是,年輕人和老年人的憾事非常不一樣。
Younger people were embarrassed about the mistakes they made. They might regret spilling coffee all over themselves or hurting someone else's feelings.
年輕人會對自己犯過的錯誤感到難堪,他們可能會後悔把咖啡灑了自己一身,或者後悔曾經令別人傷心。
But older people had regrets about something completely different. Looking back on their lives, older participants actually valued those mistakes and bad experiences. Their regrets revolved entirely around the chances that they didn't take.
但是老人們所後悔的事情卻完全不同於年輕人。回顧他們的人生,年長的人反而很重視他們犯過的錯誤和糟糕的經歷。他們的後悔,全都與自己錯過的機會有關。
So that means in 10, 20 or 50 years you might look back and wish you'd done more. So take those risks now.
那麼,這就意味著,在10年,20年,或者50年之後,你會回顧你的人生,然後想著,要是當初我能做更多的事情就好了。那麼,不妨現在就開始冒險吧。
Be willing to make mistakes, because as scary or embarrassing as it seems in the moment, you'll be proud of yourself in the long run.
你要願意去犯錯,因為雖然這可能很嚇人,或者很尷尬,但這只是一時的,而長期來看,你會為自己感到自豪。
