Kathryn Schulz: Don't regret regret. After listening to the talk, please answer these questions: 1) What is the main idea the speaker wants to bring to our notice? and 2) Do you ever regret something?
the video is really interesting, I loved it. Kathryn tells very important things. Honestly, I didn't think of it this way. The motto in my life is "to live with no regret", so in the beginning of the video I was like: "awww, let's see what you've got(with sarcasm)". but she tells really right things. it's always better to live in peace with yourself, so she can't be wrong. it's in human's nature to regret, so why should we hate ourselves for it instead of learning lessons? I am a perfectionist too. I don't think my motto is totally wrong even after watching this video, because I try my best at everything I do so to not regret it in the future. I know this is right. But trying one's best is not a guaranty of winning. So next time I regret something, I'll try to recall her words and not blame and punish myself as I always want to do. I hope, I answered your questions =) (Lunacharska)
For me , the them of video was unexpected. I think the main idea of this video, to tell us that we shouldn't regret about what happened, that we did. I also liked her example. Tattoos really things about what many people regret. Regret about what can be done, but dont dwell on this. I have no regrets. all what was done, it was. Whatever is done, is done for the best)
Realy cool and intersting vidio! I very like it! I think that she wanted to explain to everyone that you should not regret about what is happened. What about me, of course, I have regret about many things, but always stopped myself thinking that everything is done for the best. Thank you very much for video.
Oh,the video is amayzing,I liked it so much. It's no like the video for entertainments or something like that...It includes a very useful information! On my personal opinion, Kathryn Schulz mentioned the very important problem in our days:when people have done something and then they had regrets about it. I have never imagined that there is video like this. The main idea is regret and how we can deal with it. I agree with Kathryn absolutely. Johnny Depp and millions of people were aware with much regrets in their life. And I am also no exception and the problem of tattoo is familiar to me very well! Only last summer I have been a footstep away from doing tattoo on my body.I had been hesitating for a long time before I decided to have it. And when I decided to do it, just wonder stopped me. Oh, how much regrets I had in this time... Later I looked at this from another point of view and I was very proud of myself,that I hadn't this ugly tattoo on my body! Before watching this video, I had still some doubts, but now and forever I am very happy and I haven't any regrets about that! And I want to wish everybody be strong before there wishes and passions! I know, it's not very easy to control youself, but we must do it! We must do it,because we don't regret about anything in our life. Maybe just about "why we didn't say to our mother how much we love her".............
I consider Kathryn Schulz's main idea can be restated like this: we all have some regrets, it's normal; to live happily we are to put up with them. The happiest people are those with no regrets. And I have seen examples in my life that prove this phrase. The statistics of what people regret show that the most discontent people are perfectionists. Personally I find perfectionism the greatest flaw of our society, the worst sin of our age. It's the reason of a plenty of woes and sorrows. Perfectionism must be eliminated.
As for regrets, yes, I have some. You see, I used to be a perfectionist. But I fought with this feature of my character and I succeeded. Only partly, however, I'm not going to surrender. "To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield" - just the way Alfred Tennyson taught us.
I liked the video, especially the way that woman was talking. It's rather important to give rise to themes like this. I really appreciate it. Thank you for it.
To start with, I would like to quote Mercedes Lackey: “If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.” But I admit that the video refutes this statement.
Kathryn Schulz appeals not to learn to live without regrets but with them, not to hit ourselves for having them but to strive for better. These are the main points of the topic.
It goes without saying that I have some regrets. I may feel sorry for some trifles or thoroughly deplore things that caused real bothering complications.
To sum up, at one time everything you did was exactly what you wanted.
I really liked it. This video has the profound idea. It gave me the food for thought. The idea is not above the ground – to live with no regret. No! We should regret, we should feel the pain of the other people and we should embrace together all regrets to make us stronger. We should strive for the better in the future, and don’t repeat past mistakes. I also regret sometimes, because I am flesh and blood. But I go on and know that everything we can improve until we are alive.
In my opinion the speaker’s main idea is that we should not feel bad because of the fact that very often we can’t help regretting something. She mentions a well-known advice which a person usually gets when he or she is upset because something went wrong: if it is over – move along, continue living, and don’t fix your attention on misadventures. However the speaker confronts this idea, saying that feeling pain when things go wrong prevents us from hurting people that we love in the future, that is why it is absolutely normal. Indeed, emotions and feelings are what makes us human. Yes, surely I regretted many things many times in my life. To be honest, luckily the cases were not really serious – I can’t remember anything what would make me still feel bitter regrets. As the speaker said – time heals all the wounds.

I think,that Kathryn Schulz's main idea here is, that we need to learn to love the imperfect things that we've created, to forgive ourselves for creating them. I totally agreed with her. Don't let regrets get the best of you—get the best out of regrets. It is important to release all regret because the energy of regret begets more things that cause you to regret. When i regret something, I often tell myself that I want to put this behind me; I don't need this to dictate the rest of my life; regret it, forget it, and move on. On the other hand, if we must regret, we should try to compare our lives with how others who have fared worse might feel, for example, If you feel disappointed or unhappy about your own life, compare your life to that of a homeless person, in this way, we could feel much better. As Mary Engelbreit said:"If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it." What's done is done. Regret helps us to understand that we could do better. Ailaiti Nilufaer, 311
The main idea the speaker wants to bring to our notice is not to regret about smth we have done in the past,cause whathever is done is done for the best.I agree with kathyrin but not absolutely.Because there are a lot of stumbling blocks in this theme.There are a very different levels of regret.As for me,I divide it two aspects :deeply personal regrets and regrets about hurting smb.There is a huge difference between regretting of getting a tatto or buying smth or regretting decisions to our children or the other humain beins.That kind of regret when our decisions hurt someone who was in some way depended on us,maybe chitting our parents or for example a child that cannot deal with smth suffering of a lack of attention from his parents - this is harder regret. As for the author I would hazard a guess,that tatto is not the biggest regret in her life and I suppposse it was more comfortable for her to speak about the tatto then smth deeply personal.On this side I am surprised that people think it is possible to live without regrets and pain.It is a part of life and people are making mistakes and therefore regrets are bound to happen. To feel regret is to know and accept u have done smth wrong and this motivate to avoid commiting this mistakes once again. The second aspect I would like to mention is a deeply personal regret that has not any relation to the others.I like the phrase " We should not regret that we have done wrongly and imperfect things we have created". To achieve smth, to succeed,to overcome our life tumbles,primarily we should feel shure of ourselves to be in a good mood. But how we can do this when our regrets and doubts are devouring our pin froom within? We must rememret that whatever is done is done for best -this is the recipe for succees. Kate Levutskaya 312
I like this video a lot. It is very interesting and what is more important it’s very didactic. Kathryn tells us very important things. Her main idea was to show that we should not regret about was had been done, the only thing we should do is to draw the right conclusions from it. Speaking about the regrets, there is a good statement “The bad experience is also experience” Reproaching ourselves about what we could do better or not do at all is not the way out , it can’t help us to turn back time and put everything right. The life is go on, and it should go on without constant regrets. I also regret about many things in my life, but I try to catch myself thinking that it is just a life lesson , the lesson on future. Anna Golovina 311
I really like this video, too. I especially like how she says that today we seem to want to use "Control Z" to have total control over everything - but in fact we are often not in control of what happens. For perfectionists and people who want to make the world a better place this is often a very bitter experience. I like the way she says that we have to forgive ourselves for our own shortcomings.
