...Just finished reading Danny Wallaces The Yes Man, which as well as being very funny is also very thought provoking and inspiring - A real self help book without ever meaning to be!

...I was starting to realise that regret could always be with you... there's a real difference between doing something we regret, and regretting not having done something... Take the stupidest thing you've ever done... at least it's done. It's over. It's gone. We can all learn from our mistakes and heal and move on. But it's harder to learn, or heal, or move on from something that hasn't happened; something we don't know and is therefore indefinable; something which could very easily have been the best thing in our lives, if only we'd taken the plunge, if only we'd held our breath and stood up and done it, if only we'd said 'Yes'".
