Hindsight, I think, is a useless tool. We, each of us, are at a place in our lives because of innumerable circumstances, and we, each of us, have a responsibility (if we do not like where we are) to move along life's road, to find a better path if this one does not suit, or to walk happily along this one if it is indeed our life's way. Changing even the bad things that have gone before would fundamentally change who we are, and whether or not that would be a good thing, I believe, it is impossible to predict. So I take my past experiences.. and try to regret nothing. -Drizzt Do'urden . R.A. Salvatore
About This Quote

To put the matter in perspective, the average person changes their major three to five times during college. Do you really think that you would be able to regret your past experiences if you went back and changed them? Maybe you wouldn’t have been accepted into that college or maybe that one time you didn’t get into a certain major was because of your extracurricular activities. Hindsight is a useless tool, because it doesn’t allow us to make the best of our decisions.
