Do you agree with this philosophy? A poem?

Regret and Rue

Regret and rue

The things we do,

Waste not one moment longer.

What we mistake

For broken dreams,

In fact will make us stronger.

We only fail

To find our dream

The day we fail to try,

There is plenty

Time enough

To quit the day we die.

Update:

I.W.A.D....much better. Thanx

    There is more time

    To try again

    And quit the day we die.

    Yes, I agree to an extent.. we should always strive for our personal best but wasting time worrying about what didn't happen or what isn't what we wanted to be only delays and prevents us from reaching our personal best which requires focus as well as positive attitude.

    Nicely said.

    Each broken dream

    A new window opens

    Brings new visions of Love and Hope

    Thank you.
