I don't really have any at the moment that I could think of. I'm not perfect it's just that I try to avoid having regrets. I talked to the girl I wanted to and even asked her out, all to see that it didn't workout and she never liked me as more than a friend. But I tried and I saw what happened. I have no regrets because I don't want to be that guy that asks himself "what if" when he's in his fifties. Plus, there hasn't been any opportunities that could've significantly impacted my life as of yet.
That's a good way to live. Thinking of your life in terms of trying to minimise your regrets when you're older is a good way not to have many regrets to look back on. It's a strategy I try and use as much as I can. I think of it like rolling dice - you only need to roll a 7 once to be happy, so why not roll the dice as often as possible and take every opportunity you can even if the results aren't in your control?
That's a pretty awesome analogy. It's true. But that 7 part kind of through off. I could go into a whole psychological analysis about how that's suppose to represent perfection and since it's an unattainable goal, we'll never reach it but at least trying is not a bad endeavor. lol.
But yeah, as boring as my life is, I try not have regrets when the opportunity arises.
Maybe it's more like a 12 than a 7; not very likely. Or maybe it's 13 - completely out of reach :P I think it is possible though, no matter how unlikely it seems. There are a lot of opportunities and sometimes you only need one to come off to be happy.
Are you referring to one of those 20 sided dices? I'm not really following the whole which number to land on thing. Regardless, don't you think that perhaps there could be multiple numbers that could result in your happiness? I mean it'd be sort of messed up if like you need to have this one and only thing to make yourself happy. There's to more to life than just one thing.
It was two normal six-sided dice, like they usually use in casinos. 7 is the most common outcome of rolling two dice because you can make 7 in a lots of different ways (1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4), whereas 2 and 12 are the least likely because you can only make them in one possible way (1 and 1 to make 2, and 6 and 6 to make 12). 13, as I'm sure you can work out, is not possible :P
And you're right, multiple numbers can result in happiness. Being happy is starting to look quite easy when all you have to do is let the random outcomes make you happy! :) Take life as it comes and don't stress about it when it doesn't go the way you think would be best.
What are your biggest regrets?

Oh yeah two dices would make much more sense, ha. And yeah there are plenty of outcomes towards happiness.
