My Greatest RegretsWhen I was still quite young, I was offered the chance to spend several weeks in the South of France. My Uncle was going to drive me down in his vintage MG sports car. There would be sun, sand and, crucially, French girls.
I was too scared of the French girls to go.
What do you regret not doing?

$30m NZD anyone?Not mine, but I am sure it is my Dad's. He had gone through a rough time with his business going under due to shocking small business tax laws in New Zealand in the late eighties. It was all he could do to not lose our family home as well. A mate of his who was in a similar line of work, offered him to mortgage the house and go into business with him. This would have been a massive risk and it would have meant knife edge living for a couple of years, one day away from the abyss type stuff. Dad said no, they remained friends. The new product his mate had developed was licensed and distributed all around the world, the business was sold 15 years later to the tune of $60m NZD.....regrets?? You could say so....
