Top 5 Regrets People Make on their Deathbed
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Well I'm only failing on one of those
and that's staying in touch with old friends, as I've thus far refused to do the social network online thing, but as EVERYONE now seems to and I'm effectively out of the loop of social events looks like I'm gonna hafta bite the bullet on that one.
Still don't get why it's considered better to get Twitbook to send an email to me instead of just doing it directly tho, or, like, y'know, talking to friends FOR REAL...

I wish I'd fallen asleep and died peacefully like my grandad
not screaming in terror like his passengers...

From John Mortimer...
"I saw my father dying in the bedroom upstairs. He wanted to have a bath, and I said he couldn’t get up and have a bath. I said, ‘Don’t get angry.’ And he said, ‘I’m always angry when I’m dying.’"

Anyone interested
on this topic. There is a book, which is a bit more scientific. The results are not that suprising, but if you're looking for affirmation :-)
