Top five regrets of the dying There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps. A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'. Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives.

LinkedIn: 9 Mistakes You're Making Lots of articles describe how to create a more marketable LinkedIn profile, how to find the right groups to join, how to choose the best profile photo... I should know, I've written about that. Oh, and that. Yep, and that too. Since most people understand the value of taking those steps, let's go deeper. 1. Connect with people on LinkedIn and you can write a recommendation that gets displayed on their profiles. That's awesome, unless you're only giving recommendations because you want one in return.

Show other people you respect their skills. 3. Building great connections is a parallel, not a serial, task. 4. 5. What's next? 6. 7. 8. 9.
