Things of regret

I was sent a set of survey result, of where they surveyed large amounts of 60+ year old seniors, with the question of "what do you regret"? From that, they distilled these following results (loosely translated):

年輕時努力不 夠,以至事業無成
Didn't work hard enough, didn't achieve enough things
75% cited this as a regret.

年輕時錯誤地選擇了職業
When young, selected the wrong career

70% cited this as a regret.

對子女教育不 夠或方法不當
Did not educate their children enough, or didn't like the way they raised them.

62% cited this as a regret.

沒有好好珍惜自己的伴侶
Took their spouse for granted too often.
57% cited this as a regret.

鍛鍊身體不足
Did not train/exercise the body enough.
49% cited this as a regret.

沒有賺到更多的錢
Did not earn enough money.
Only 11% cited this as a regret.

It was fairly obvious what this set of survey result was suppose to show. Probably not news to many people. But I thought I post it up anyway.
