It's impossible for a person to be right at every step. There's no need to dwell on the past or criticize yourself for past choices. You must always believe that the paths you take, the people you meet, and the regrets you hold are all experiences you were meant to have. Whether they are 'right' or 'wrong' is ultimately determined by your heart, so there's no need for prolonged sadness. Everyone has their own destiny.

In this life, people face numerous choices, and each step is their own. Having made a choice, regardless of its outcome, you shouldn't harbor regrets. The road of life is filled with uncertainty. Following your heart is often the most fulfilling path. What you possess is what you are meant to have.

Life is inherently imperfect. We cannot possess everything. We encounter things by chance. No one knows whether tomorrow or misfortune will arrive first. Whether a choice was 'right' or 'wrong,' it represented the best decision you could make at that moment.

In this world, no one is without flaws. No one is perfect. It's impossible to be correct in every action. People will make mistakes. We must learn to forgive ourselves, allow ourselves to err, glean lessons, and avoid lingering regrets. If things don't go as planned, there must be other arrangements in store.

What truly breeds regret is not making a choice at all, rather than making a 'wrong' one. All successes are built upon failures and the lessons learned from them.

There is no wasted journey in this world; every step matters. Even if you've taken a wrong turn, those mistakes pave the way for your future. Grow through hope. The crucial aspect is the process of walking. Only through continuous accumulation of experience can you truly grow.

Life is a process of continuous growth. We need to refine ourselves through mistakes, and we also need to rectify errors when we recognize them, thereby maturing ourselves.
