Mariano Rivera Quotes

Learning from our mistakes is critical for improving, but even I don't have patience for ranking my regrets. Regret is a negative emotion that inhibits the optimism required to take on new challenges. You risk living in an alternative universe, where if only you had done this or that differently, things would be better. That's a poor substitute for making your actual life better, or improving the lives of others. Regret briefly, analyze and understand, and then move on, improving the only life you have.

How is it right to slip free of an old skin and walk away from the scene of the crime? We came, we saw, we took away and we left behind, we must be allowed our anguish and our regrets.

The mistakes you made you tend to conveniently forget

I think we all agree, the past is over.

Regret should be handled swiftly, and you shouldn't hold onto it. People spend their entire lives regretting what they didn't do and what they should've done. Hey, man, you did what you did.

Accept what you did do, and live with it.

You know we all make mistakes and we move on.

I can't take it back. I can't take anything back. So I don't regret it.

The past is past; what's gone on has gone on.

Certainly, there were tough times, but no, you can't go back and change it. So, why dwell on it?
