Dan Gilbert: Why we make bad decisions

TAILOPEZ.COM The 'no mistake' fast track is what we all want to be on. Because as the Dutch say, "We are too soon old, and too late smart." Steve Jobs was right when he said, "I didn't want to be the richest man in the graveyard." It's not enough to just be successful. It doesn’t matter if you are 18 years old or 80 years old, the arrow of time moves forward. Hall of Fame pro basketball player Charles Barkley was right, "Father time is undefeated." Imagine if you could have back the years you have wasted on a bad marriage or dating the wrong person; recover the youth you lost to being overweight and unhealthy; get back the money you lost on bad investments; take back the lost decades spent in the wrong career; find lasting friendships instead of having squandered time around people who ended up betraying you in the end. The greatest wish of every human is to have their wasted years back. But time moves forward. Now he says he was mistaken. You and I are left with no way to undo our mistakes.
