If one day you had magic, what would you use it for? Will it be used to make up for the biggest regret in life? This is bound to be a difficult choice, because after making up for the biggest regret, the second regret becomes the biggest regret. And there's a good chance that this choice will become your new regret, because it directly caused your new biggest regret. In fact, we know that a perfect life does not exist, and there will always be regrets of one kind or another. Just like the brothers in the movie, they work hard, work hard, have luck, and have the help of nobles, but it is only half of the success. , the rest is one-half regret. This is life, there will always be good and there will always be regrets. In fact, regret is not terrible, because regret is a by-product of hard work. What you pursue is perfection, what you give is all, you will still have one-half regret. This regret is beautiful, because it carries your hope. , is equally beautiful. It's just that not all imperfections are regrets. It is a regret to pursue with all one's heart and not to be perfect, and to give up without paying is called regret. It is often said that if there were no regrets, how boring it would be! Indeed, because regret is inevitable, the regret brought by the pursuit of perfection is made more beautiful. If you seek regret, you usually get regret. In the journey of pursuing a perfect life, if you reserve one half of regrets, then what you pursue is only one half of the beauty, one quarter of the effort, and only one eighth of what you get. The perfection may also have one-eighth regrets, and the rest are all regrets. There is always something that cannot be asked in the world. The beauty of regret lies in the process of hard work. If you give your whole heart, every bit of gain will be gratifying. Why does life need to be perfect, one half is enough.
