Officials act privately, and regret when they are lost
I am afraid that it is too late to bend the law for personal gain and to use one's power to exercise improper behavior, and to regret it when it is wrecked. Many people devote themselves to the cause of saving the people of the world, but because they cannot bear the temptation to go astray, it is really sad!

Rich do not use thriftily, poor regrets
When you are rich and noble, you don't know how to be diligent and thrifty, you spend all day long, you have ruined your family, and you regret not being in the beginning when you are poor. To be a man, we must know how to think of danger in times of peace, and when we are rich and noble, we must not forget the virtues of thriftiness and thriftiness. Remember a little, be diligent and thrifty, the family business can be prosperous, profligate, sit and eat the mountains and empty!

I have learned a lot of art and regretted it out of date
Don't take advantage of the young age to learn a craft, and when you are old, you will naturally know regret. Many people have nothing to do when they are young, and they still have nothing to do in middle age, and only then do they wake up and regret that if they learned a craft with their hearts, they would not end up like this.

See things and do not learn, regret when used
In the decades of life, who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, but they can change their mistakes, and they are very good. As the saying goes, eating a trench grows a wisdom, on the contrary, some people, after making mistakes, do not have a long memory, and constantly fall into the same pit, without any growth.

Drunk and crazy, regret when you wake up
As the saying goes, wine is bold. Many people, after getting drunk, can't control their emotions, run trains with their mouths full of mouths, get drunk, and even make irreparable consequences. When I woke up the next day, I remembered the bits and pieces of yesterday and couldn't help but be ashamed.

Rest in peace, regret when you are sick
Usually do not pay attention to the maintenance of the body, the illness comes like a mountain, when sick there is no regret to take medicine. This is especially important for modern people, many people work overtime day and night in order to work, and as a result, the body is exhausted. Now exchange the body for money, and no amount of money can be exchanged for a healthy body in the future.
In life, it is difficult to do without complaint or regret, the regrets in our lives, regrets that we did not adhere to that love, regrets that we did not apply for that school, regrets easily gave up that job. However, in addition to regret and regret, we should think more about how to face the future life.
