Addressing my regret over wasting 20K on mediocre watches when I could have used that money to buy a few great ones, Ulysses writes:
Hindsight is a wonderful and terrible thing. The journey is a learning process and it is made all the more difficult by the fact that tastes can change, making the target a moving one. You might regret spending all that money before realising what watch you really wanted, but it's an unavoidable process. Besides, money can be earned back. What I really regret sometimes taking for granted, is time itself.
Yep. Anyone who is in a happy marriage might wish they met their spouse "a long time ago, before dating those other misfits!" But that misses the point----dating those misfits was part of a process that makes you appreciate your spouse all the more. If your spouse was the first one, you might not know how good you have it.
