Regret
Mistakes don't mean a thing if you don't regret them, so sang Silverchair.
Really? I beg to differ.
I think regret is a wasted emotion, quite pointless. Regret only makes you stupid; it's a shackle which chains you to the past, rendering you unable to look to the future.
Regret weighs you down, holds you back, burdens you with unnecessary emotions and drains energy which would be so much better spent elsewhere.
Have I regretted? You bet. I regret that I've regretted my mistakes. I regret that I spent so much time regretting, when I could have used all that effort to look forward instead.
What has passed, has passed. You can't change a thing by your regret.
What you can do, however, is to learn from mistakes. Learn not to make the same mistakes, learn not to stumble at familiar pathways.
That which does not kill me makes me stronger.

Don't dwell in the past too long, or else you'll be tied down to it! I think regrets are a way for us to change, for good i hope. there's nothing wrong with regretting, cos it makes u realise that you could have done better, or made a better choice. it is how ppl respond to regrets that is important. to me it is not a wated emotion, cos human beings juz cant get rid of emotions. regrets do not tie us down to our past...but fear does.
