"ื•ื™ื ื•ื ื” ืœื ืฆื—" (Winona forever)

ื•ืื– ืฉืœื•ืฉ ืฉื ื™ื ืื—ืจ ื›ืš --

2000
ืื– ื›ืžื• ืœื’'ื•ื ื™ ื“ืค,
00:53

ื•ื›ืžื• ืœ-25 ืื—ื•ื– ืžืืžืจื™ืงืื™ื

I have a tattoo.

ื’ื ืœื™ ื™ืฉ ืงืขืงื•ืข.
01:02
I first started thinking about getting it in my mid-20s,

ืื‘ืœ ื‘ื›ื•ื•ื ื” ื—ื™ื›ื™ืชื™ ื”ืžื•ืŸ ื–ืžืŸ.

Because we all know people

ื›ื™ ื›ื•ืœื ื• ืฉืžืขื ื• ืขืœ ืื ืฉื™ื

or 19 or 23
21
72260
2000
ืื• 19 ืื• 23

and regretted it by the time they were 30.
22

3000
ื•ื”ืชื—ืจื˜ื• ืขืœ ื–ื” ืขื“ ื’ื™ืœ 30.

That didn't happen to me.

ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ, ื–ื” ืœื ืžื” ืฉืงืจื” ืœื™.
01:21
I got my tattoo when I was 29,

ืื ื™ ืขืฉื™ืชื™ ืงืขืงื•ืข ื›ืฉื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื‘ืช 29,

3000
ื•ื”ืชื—ืจื˜ืชื™ ืขืœ ื–ื” ืžื™ื“.
01:27
And by "regretted it,"
26

2000
ื•ื›ืฉืื ื™ ืื•ืžืจืช "ื”ืชื—ืจื˜ืชื™ ืขืœ ื–ื”"
01:29
I mean that I stepped outside of the tattoo place --

down on the Lower East Side --
29
94260
2000
ื‘-ืœื•ืืจ ืื™ืกื˜ ืกื™ื™ื“ --
01:36
and I had a massive emotional meltdown in broad daylight
30
96260
3000
ื”ื™ื™ืชื” ืœื™ ื”ืชืžื•ื˜ื˜ื•ืช ืขืฆื‘ื™ื ืœืื•ืจ ื”ื™ื•ื,

01:41
(Laughter)
32
101260
2000
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
01:43
Which is a great place to do it because nobody cares.
33

2000
ืฉื–ื” ืžืงื•ื ื ื”ื“ืจ ืœืขื‘ื•ืจ ื‘ื• ื”ืชืžื•ื˜ื˜ื•ืช ืขืฆื‘ื™ื ื›ื™ ืœืืฃ ืื—ื“ ืœื ืื›ืคืช.
01:45
(Laughter)
34
105260
2000
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
01:47
And then I went home that night, and I had an even larger emotional meltdown,
35
107260
3000
ื•ืื– ื—ื–ืจืชื™ ื”ื‘ื™ืชื” ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืœื™ืœื”, ื•ืขื‘ืจืชื™ ื”ืชืžื•ื˜ื˜ื•ืช ืขืฆื‘ื™ื ื’ื“ื•ืœื” ืขื•ื“ ื™ื•ืชืจ.
01:50
which I'll say more about in a minute.
36
110260
3000
ืขืœื™ื” ืืกืคืจ ืขื•ื“ ื“ืงื”.
01:53
And this was all actually quite shocking to me,
37
113260
2000
ื•ื›ืœ ื–ื” ื“ื™ ื”ืคืชื™ืข ืื•ืชื™,
01:55
because prior to this moment,
38
115260
2000
ื›ื™ ืขื“ ืœืื•ืชื• ืจื’ืข
01:57
I had prided myself
39
117260
2000
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื’ืื” ื‘ืขืฆืžื™
01:59
on having absolutely no regrets.

02:01
I made a lot of mistakes
41
121260
2000
ืขืฉื™ืชื™ ื”ืžื•ืŸ ื˜ืขื•ื™ื•ืช
02:03
and dumb decisions, of course.
42
123260
2000
ื•ื”ื—ืœื˜ื•ืช ืžื˜ื•ืคืฉื•ืช, ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ.
02:05
I do that hourly.
43

2000
ืื ื™ ืขื•ืฉื” ื˜ืขื•ื™ื•ืช ืขืœ ื‘ืกื™ืก ืงื‘ื•ืข.
02:07
But I had always felt like, look, you know,
44
127260
3000
ืื‘ืœ ืชืžื™ื“ ื”ืกืชื›ืœืชื™ ืขืœ ื–ื” ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ื”ื‘ืื”:
02:10
I made the best choice I could make
45
130260
2000
ืœืงื—ืชื™ ืืช ื”ื”ื—ืœื˜ื” ื”ื˜ื•ื‘ื” ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ
02:12
given who I was then,
46

2000
ื‘ื”ืชื—ืฉื‘ ื‘ืžื™ ืฉื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื‘ืื•ืชื• ื–ืžืŸ,
02:14
given the information I had on hand.
47

2000
ื‘ื”ืชื—ืฉื‘ ื‘ืขื•ื‘ื“ื•ืช ืฉื”ื™ื• ื–ืžื™ื ื•ืช ืœื™.
02:16
I learned a lesson from it.
48
136260
2000
ืœืžื“ืชื™ ืžื–ื” ืœืงื—.
02:18
It somehow got me to where I am in life right now.
49
138260
2000
ื–ื” ืื™ื›ืฉื”ื• ื”ื‘ื™ื ืื•ืชื™ ืœื ืงื•ื“ื” ื‘ื” ืื ื™ ื ืžืฆืืช ื›ืจื’ืข.
02:20
And okay, I wouldn't change it.
50
140260
3000
ื•ืื•ืงื™ื™, ืœื ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืžืฉื ื” ืืช ื–ื”.
02:25
In other words, I had drunk our great cultural Kool-Aid about regret,
51
145260
4000
ื‘ืžื™ืœื™ื ืื—ืจื•ืช, ืงื ื™ืชื™ ืืช ื”ืžื•ืกื›ืžื” ื”ืชืจื‘ื•ืชื™ืช ืœื’ื‘ื™ ื—ืจื˜ื”
02:29
which is that lamenting things that occurred in the past
52
149260
3000
ืฉืื•ืžืจืช ืฉื—ืจื˜ื” ืขืœ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉืงืจื• ื‘ืขื‘ืจ
02:32
is an absolute waste of time,
53
152260
2000
ื”ื™ื ื‘ื–ื‘ื•ื– ื–ืžืŸ,
02:34
that we should always look forward and not backward,
54
154260
3000
ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ืฆืจื™ื›ื™ื ืชืžื™ื“ ืœื”ืกืชื›ืœ ืงื“ื™ืžื” ื•ืœื ืื—ื•ืจื”,
02:37
and that one of the noblest and best things we can do
55
157260
2000
ื•ืฉืื—ื“ ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื”ืืฆื™ืœื™ื™ื ื•ื˜ื•ื‘ื™ื ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ ืฉืื ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืขืฉื•ืช
02:39
is strive to live a life free of regrets.
56
159260
3000
ื–ื” ืœื ืกื•ืช ืœื—ื™ื•ืช ื—ื™ื™ื ืœืœื ื—ืจื˜ื”.
02:42
This idea is nicely captured by this quote:
57
162260
3000
ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืžื‘ื•ื˜ื ื™ืคื” ื‘ืฆื™ื˜ื•ื˜ ื”ื‘ื:
02:45
"Things without all remedy
58
165260
2000
"ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืœื”ื ืื™ืŸ ืชืจื•ืคื”
02:47
should be without regard;
59
167260
3000
ืœื ืฆืจื™ื›ื” ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืขืœื™ื”ื ื—ืจื˜ื”.
02:50
what's done is done."
60
170260
2000
ืžื” ืฉื ืขืฉื” ื ืขืฉื”."
02:52
And it seems like kind of an admirable philosophy at first --
61
172260
3000
ื•ื‘ื”ืชื—ืœื” ื–ื” ื ืฉืžืข ื›ืžื• ื“ืจืš ื—ื™ื™ื ื ืคืœืื” --
02:55
something we might all agree to sign onto ...

ืคื™ืœื•ืกื•ืคื™ื” ืฉื›ื•ืœื ื• ื”ื™ื™ื ื• ืจื•ืฆื™ื ืœื—ื™ื•ืช ื“ืจื›ื”...
02:58
until I tell you who said it.
63
178260
3000
ืขื“ ืฉืื•ืžืจ ืœื›ื ืžื™ ืืžืจ ืืช ื–ื”.
03:02
Right, so this is Lady MacBeth
64
182260
2000
ื ื›ื•ืŸ, ื–ื•ื”ื™ ืœื™ื™ื“ื™ ืžืงื‘ืช'
03:04
basically telling her husband to stop being such a wuss

for feeling bad about murdering people.

03:10
And as it happens, Shakespeare was onto something here,
67
190260
3000
ื•ื™ื•ืฆื ืฉืฉื™ื™ืงืกืคื™ืจ ืขืœื” ืคื” ืขืœ ืžืฉื”ื•,

68
193260
2000
ื›ืคื™ ืฉื”ื•ื ื‘ื“ืจืš ื›ืœืœ ืขืฉื”.
03:15
Because the inability to experience regret
69
195260
3000
ื‘ื’ืœืœ ืฉื—ื•ืกืจ ื”ื™ื›ื•ืœืช ืœื”ืจื’ื™ืฉ ื—ืจื˜ื”
03:18
is actually one of the diagnostic characteristics
70
198260
2000
ื”ื™ื ืื—ื“ ื”ืžืืคื™ื™ื ื™ื ืฉืขืœ ื™ื“ื ืžืื‘ื—ื ื™ื

of sociopaths.
71
200260
3000
ืกื•ืฆื™ืื•ืคืชื™ื”.
03:23
It's also, by the way, a characteristic of certain kinds of brain damage.
72
203260
3000
ื•ื“ืจืš ืื’ื‘, ื–ื” ื’ื ืื—ื“ ื”ืžืืคื™ื™ื ื™ื ืฉืœ ืกื•ื’ื™ื ืžืกื•ื™ืžื™ื ืฉืœ ื ื–ืง ืžื•ื—ื™.
03:26
So people who have damage
73
206260
2000
ืœืื ืฉื™ื ืฉื ื’ืจื ืœื”ื ื ื–ืง

ื‘ืื–ื•ืจ ื”ืงื“ื-ืžืฆื—ื™ ืฉืœ ืงืœื™ืคืช ื”ืžื—
03:30
seem to be unable to feel regret
75
210260
2000
ืงืฉื” ืœื—ื•ืฉ ื—ืจื˜ื”
03:32
in the face of even obviously very poor decisions.

03:36
So if, in fact, you want to live a life free of regret,
77
216260
2000
ื›ืš ืฉืื ืืชื ืจื•ืฆื™ื ืœื—ื™ื•ืช ื—ื™ื™ื ื ื˜ื•ืœื™ ื—ืจื˜ื”,

there is an option open to you.

3000
ื™ืฉ ืœื›ื ืืคืฉืจื•ืช ืœืขืฉื•ืช ื–ืืช.
03:41
It's called a lobotomy.

ื•ืืคืฉืจื•ืช ื–ื• ื”ื™ื ื ื™ืชื•ื— ืœื›ืจื™ืชืช ื”ืื•ื ื”.
03:44
But if you want to be fully functional
80
224260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ืื ืืชื ืจื•ืฆื™ื ื—ื™ื™ื ืขื ืชืคืงื•ื“ ืžืœื,

ื—ื™ื™ื ื›ื‘ื ื™ ืื“ื ื ื•ืจืžืืœื™ื,

and fully humane,
82
228260
3000
ื—ื™ื™ื ื”ื•ึผืžึธื ึดื™ื,
03:51
I think you need to learn to live, not without regret, but with it.

03:54
So let's start off by defining some terms.
84

2000
ืื– ื‘ื•ืื• ื ืชื—ื™ืœ ืข"ื™ ื”ื’ื“ืจืช ืžืกืคืจ ืžื•ืฉื’ื™ื.
03:56
What is regret?
85
236260
2000
ืžื” ื”ื™ื ื—ืจื˜ื”?
03:58
Regret is the emotion we experience

2000
ื—ืจื˜ื” ื–ื• ื”ืชื—ื•ืฉื” ืฉืื ื• ืžืจื’ื™ืฉื™ื

when we think that our present situation

It requires, first of all, agency -- we had to make a decision in the first place.

3000
ื•ืฉื ื™ืช, ื“ืจื•ืฉ ื“ืžื™ื•ืŸ.
04:14
We need to be able to imagine going back and making a different choice,

04:24
And in fact, the more we have of either of these things --

ื•ืœืžืขืฉื”, ื›ื›ืœ ืฉืื ื• ืขื•ืฉื™ื ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžืฉื ื™ ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื”ืœืœื• --

the more agency and the more imagination

ื‘ื”ืงืฉืจ ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”,

the more acute that regret will be.

ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ื‘ืžืกื’ืจืช ื”ื–ื•,

2000
ืืš ืžืกืชื‘ืจ ืฉื—ืจื˜ื” ืžืจื’ื™ืฉื” ื ื•ืจื
07:17
in four very specific and consistent ways.
168
437260

ื‘ืืจื‘ืข ื“ืจื›ื™ื ืžืื“ ืกืคืฆื™ืคื™ื•ืช ื•ืขืงื‘ื™ื•ืช.
07:20
So the first consistent component of regret
169
440260
2000
ื”ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ ื”ืขืงืจื™ ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”
07:22
is basically denial.
170
442260
3000
ื”ื•ื ื”ื›ื—ืฉื”.
07:25
When I went home that night after getting my tattoo,
171
445260
3000
ื›ืฉื—ื–ืจืชื™ ื”ื‘ื™ืชื” ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืœื™ืœื” ืื—ืจื™ ืฉืขืฉื™ืชื™ ืืช ื”ืงืขืงื•ืข,
07:28
I basically stayed up all night.
172
448260
2000
ื ืฉืืจืชื™ ืขืจื” ื›ืœ ื”ืœื™ืœื”.
07:30
And for the first several hours,
173
450260
2000
ื•ื‘ืžืฉืš ืžืกืคืจ ืฉืขื•ืช,
07:32
there was exactly one thought in my head.
174
452260
2000
ืขื‘ืจื” ื‘ื™ ืจืง ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” ืื—ืช.
07:34
And the thought was,
175
454260
2000
ื•ื”ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” ื”ื™ื™ืชื”,
07:36
"Make it go away!"
176
456260
3000
"ืชืขืฉื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื!"
07:39
This is an unbelievably primitive emotional response.
177
459260
4000
ื–ื• ืชื’ื•ื‘ื” ืืžื•ืฆื™ื•ื ืœื™ืช ืคืจื™ืžื™ื˜ื™ื‘ื™ืช ืœื—ืœื•ื˜ื™ืŸ.
07:43
I mean, it's right up there with, "I want my mommy!"
178
463260
3000
ื›ืœื•ืžืจ, ื–ื” ื›ืžืขื˜ ื›ืžื• "ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืืช ืืžื!"
07:46
We're not trying to solve the problem.
179
466260
2000
ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื ื‘ืืžืช ืžื ืกื™ื ืœืžืฆื•ื ืคืชืจื•ืŸ ืœื‘ืขื™ื”.
07:48
We're not trying to understand how the problem came about.
180
468260
3000
ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื ืžื ืกื™ื ืœื”ื‘ื™ืŸ ืื™ืš ื”ื’ืขื ื• ืœืžืฆื‘ ื”ื–ื”.
07:51
We just want it to vanish.
181
471260
3000
ืื ื—ื ื• ืจืง ืจื•ืฆื™ื ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื.
07:54
The second characteristic component of regret
182
474260
2000
ื”ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ ื”ืฉื ื™ ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”
07:56
is a sense of bewilderment.
183
476260
2000
ื”ื•ื ืชื—ื•ืฉื” ืฉืœ ื‘ื™ืœื‘ื•ืœ.
07:58
So the other thing I thought about there in my bedroom that night
184
478260
3000
ืื– ื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ืื—ืจ ืฉื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœื™ื• ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืœื™ืœื” ื‘ืขื•ื“ื™ ื‘ืžื™ื˜ื”
08:01
was, "How could I have done that?
185
481260
3000
ื”ื™ื” "ืื™ืš ืขืฉื™ืชื™ ื“ื‘ืจ ื›ื–ื”?
08:04
What was I thinking?"
186
484260
3000
ืขืœ ืžื” ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™?"
08:07
This real sense of alienation
187
487260
2000
ื–ื• ื”ื”ืจื’ืฉื” ื”ื–ื• ืฉืœ ื ืชืง
08:09
from the part of us that made a decision we regret.
188
489260
2000
ืžื”ื—ืœืง ื‘ื ื• ืฉืขืฉื” ืืช ื”ื”ื—ืœื˜ื” ืขืœื™ื” ืื ื• ืžืชื—ืจื˜ื™ื.
08:11
We can't identify with that part.
189
491260
2000
ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœื”ื–ื“ื”ื•ืช ืขื ื”ื—ืœืง ื”ื–ื”.
08:13
We don't understand that part.
190
493260
2000
ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื ืžื‘ื™ื ื™ื ืืช ื”ื—ืœืง ื”ื–ื”.
08:15
And we certainly don't have any empathy for that part --
191
495260
2000
ื•ืื™ืŸ ืœื ื• ืฉื•ื ืืžืคืชื™ื” ืœื—ืœืง ื”ื–ื” --
08:17
which explains the third consistent component of regret,
192
497260
3000
ืขื•ื‘ื“ื” ืฉืžืกื‘ื™ืจื” ืืช ื”ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ ื”ืฉืœื™ืฉื™ ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”,
08:20
which is an intense desire to punish ourselves.
193
500260
2000
ืฉื”ื•ื ื“ื—ืฃ ืขื– ืœื”ืขื ื™ืฉ ืืช ืขืฆืžื ื•.
08:22
That's why, in the face of our regret,
194
502260
2000
ื•ื–ื•ื”ื™ ื”ืกื™ื‘ื” ืฉื‘ืžืฆื‘ื™ื ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”,
08:24
the thing we consistently say is, "I could have kicked myself."
195
504260
3000
ืื ื—ื ื• ื ื•ืชื™ื ืœื”ื’ื™ื“ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื›ืžื• "ื”ื™ื™ืช ืžืจื‘ื™ืฅ ืœืขืฆืžื™."
08:28
The fourth component here
196
508260
2000
ื”ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ ื”ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”
08:30
is that regret is what psychologists call perseverative.
197
510260
2000
ื”ื•ื ืžื” ืฉืคืกื™ื›ื•ืœื•ื’ื™ื ืงื•ืจืื™ื ืœื• ื—ื–ืจืชื™ื•ืช.
08:32
To perseverate means to focus obsessively and repeatedly
198
512260
3000
ื—ื–ืจืชื™ื•ืช ื–ื” ื›ืฉืžืชืžืงื“ื™ื ื‘ื›ืคื™ื™ืชื™ื•ืช ื•ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ื—ื•ื–ืจ
08:35
on the exact same thing.
199
515260
2000
ื‘ืื•ืชื• ื”ื“ื‘ืจ.
08:37
Now the effect of perseveration
200
517260
2000
ื”ืชื•ืฆืื” ืฉืœ ื—ื–ืจืชื™ื•ืช
08:39
is to basically take these first three components of regret
201
519260
2000
ื”ื™ื ืœืžืขืฉื” ืœืงื™ื—ืช ืฉืœื•ืฉืช ื”ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ื™ื ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื™ื ืฉืœ ื—ืจื˜ื”,
08:41
and put them on an infinite loop.
202
521260
3000
ื•ื”ืฉืžืชื ื‘ืœื•ืœืื” ืื™ืŸ ืกื•ืคื™ืช.
08:44
So it's not that I sat there in my bedroom that night,
203
524260
3000
ืื– ื–ื” ืœื ืฉื™ืฉื‘ืชื™ ื‘ื—ื“ืจ ื”ืฉื™ื ื” ืฉืœื™ ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืœื™ืœื”
08:47
thinking, "Make it go away."
204
527260
3000
ื•ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ "ืขืฉื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื".
08:50
It's that I sat there and I thought,
205
530260
2000
ื™ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืฉื ื•ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™
08:52
"Make it go away. Make it go away.
206
532260
2000
"ืขืฉื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื. ืขืฉื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื.
08:54
Make it go away. Make it go away."
207
534260
3000
ืขืฉื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื. ืขืฉื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ืขืœื."
08:57
So if you look at the psychological literature,
208
537260
2000
ืื ืชืกืชื›ืœื• ื‘ืกืคืจื•ืช ื”ืคืกื™ื›ื•ืœื•ื’ื™ืช,
08:59
these are the four consistent defining components of regret.
209
539260
4000
ืชื—ืช ื—ืจื˜ื” ืชืžืฆืื• ืืช ืืจื‘ืขืช ื”ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ื™ื ื”ืืœื”.
09:03
But I want to suggest that there's also a fifth one.
210
543260
3000
ืืš ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื”ืฆื™ืข ืฉื™ืฉื ื• ืžืจื›ื™ื‘ ื—ืžื™ืฉื™.
09:06
And I think of this
211
546260
2000
ื•ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืขืœื™ื•
09:08
as a kind of existential wake-up call.
212
548260
3000
ื›ืขืœ ืงืจื™ืืช ื”ืฉืงืžื” ืงื™ื•ืžื™ืช.
09:11
That night in my apartment,
213
551260
2000
ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืœื™ืœื” ื‘ื“ื™ืจื” ืฉืœื™,
09:13
after I got done kicking myself and so forth,
214
553260
3000
ืื—ืจื™ ืฉื’ืžืจืชื™ ืœื”ืจื‘ื™ืฅ ืœืขืฆืžื™ ื•ื›ืœ ื–ื”,
09:16
I lay in bed for a long time,
215
556260
2000
ืฉื›ื‘ืชื™ ื‘ืžื™ื˜ื” ืœื–ืžืŸ ืืจื•ืš,
09:18
and I thought about skin grafts.
216
558260
4000
ื•ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœ ื”ืฉืชืœืช ืขื•ืจ.
09:22
And then I thought about how,
217
562260
2000
ื•ืื– ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœ ืื™ืš,
09:24
much as travel insurance doesn't cover acts of God,
218
564260
3000
ื›ืžื• ืฉื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื— ื ืกื™ืขื•ืช ืœื ืžื›ืกื” ืชืื•ื ื•ืช ื›ืชื•ืฆืื” ืžื›ื— ืขืœื™ื•ืŸ,
09:27
probably my health insurance did not cover acts of idiocy.
219
567260
4000
ื›ืš ื›ื ืจืื” ื’ื ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื— ื”ื‘ืจื™ืื•ืช ืฉืœื™ ืœื ืžื›ืกื” ืชืื•ื ื•ืช ื›ืชื•ืฆืื” ืžื˜ื™ืคืฉื•ืช.
09:32
In point of fact, no insurance covers acts of idiocy.
220
572260
3000
ืœืžืขืฉื”, ืฉื•ื ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื— ืœื ืžื›ืกื” ืชืื•ื ื•ืช ื›ืชื•ืฆืื” ืžื˜ื™ืคืฉื•ืช.
09:35
The whole point of acts of idiocy
221
575260
2000
ื›ืœ ื”ืงื˜ืข ื‘ืžืขืฉื™ื ืžื˜ื•ืคืฉื™ื
09:37
is that they leave you totally uninsured;
222

2000
ื”ื•ื ืฉื”ื ืžืฉืื™ืจื™ื ืื•ืชืš ื—ืกืจ ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื— ืœื—ืœื•ื˜ื™ืŸ.

they leave you exposed to the world

ื”ื ืžืฉืื™ืจื™ื ืื•ืชืš ื—ืฉื•ืฃ ืœืขื•ืœื,

ื•ื—ืฉื•ืฃ ืœืจื’ื™ืฉื•ืช ืฉืœืš ื•ืœืขื•ื‘ื“ื” ืฉืืชื” ืขื•ืฉื” ื˜ืขื•ื™ื•ืช

in face of, frankly, a fairly indifferent universe.

ื‘ื™ืงื•ื ืฉื”ื•ื, ืœืžืขืŸ ื”ืืžืช, ืื“ื™ืฉ.

ื–ื• ืžืŸ ื”ืกืชื ื—ื•ื™ื” ื›ื•ืื‘ืช ืœื”ืคืœื™ื.

And I think it's particularly painful for us now in the West

Specifically the two things I learned about myself

ืฉื”ื›ื™ ืœื ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœืฉื›ื•ื—

was how important it felt to keep exploring

and, simultaneously, how important it is
341
906260
3000
ื•ื‘ื• ื‘ื–ืžืŸ, ื›ืžื” ื–ื” ื—ืฉื•ื‘
15:09
to somehow keep an eye on your own true north.

And what I loved about this image of the compass

15:14
was that I felt like it encapsulated both of these ideas

15:19
And I thought it might serve as a kind of permanent mnemonic device.

ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ, ื–ื” ืื›ืŸ ืขืฉื” ื–ืืช.
15:25
But it turns out, it doesn't remind me of the thing I thought it would;

It actually reminds me
350
932260
2000
ื–ื” ืžื–ื›ื™ืจ ืœื™
15:34
of the most important lesson regret can teach us,

And ironically, I think it's probably the single most important thing

ื•ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ืื™ืจื•ื ื™, ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืฉื–ื” ื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ

Here's the thing,

ื•ื”ืœืงื— ื”ื•ื,

if we have goals
