3Not taking calculated risk

We have heard many times that if you are not willing to take risk in life, your chances of getting success are also very less. Life is absolutely uncertain but still you need to make plans, get out of your comfort zone and take some decisions based on calculated risk.

4Postponing a trip to foreign country

Exploring a foreign country is a dream of many of us; however, we mostly keep on postponing it as there are some other things which we think are more important; for instance, home loan installment, car installment, a new computer or TV and so on. If you take a look at the image, the woman here wants to go to Paris but even after 10 years, it remains her dream that couldn’t come true.

5Not being satisfied with what you have

It’s said that contentment is the greatest wealth and key to happiness. If people learn that what actually matters is satisfaction with the whole lot they have instead of being upset about what they couldn’t afford, lack of any materialistic thing cannot make them upset. What’s the use of a lavish bungalow with all the luxurious amenities if you are not happy from within? Enjoy the present moment to the fullest with whatever you have or else you will repent for wasting precious time in desiring for luxurious things.

6Fun time with friends due to work load

We get so busy with our work that we don’t value quality moments and fun time which can be enjoyed with friends and give us sweet memories for a lifetime; at least we can take out few hours if someone invites us so as not to disappoint him/her. If one keeps on refusing over and over again, there are high chances that people stop asking them later on.

7Being over-confident and stop learning new things

We never know what will work in future and no matter how good courses we have done, things might change in few years and the course that has a great value at the present time might not help you with a successful career in the years to come. Hence, it’s a good idea to keep on enhancing your knowledge by learning new things and never think that you are qualified enough to afford a luxurious life.

10Doing the same job that you don’t like for years

Needless to say, we have the opportunity to perform better in those things that we like as we keep on attempting for making it more creative and interesting. The job of our choice not only gives pleasure but at the same time, we try to excel in it which further opens door of success. However, if an individual keeps on doing the same job that he hates, there are very less chances of him making an achievement or living a contented life.

11Refusing a decent proposal

This is something many people regret for!

Remember there’s no perfect time and will never come.

12Running away from your responsibilities

Some people have the tendency of running away from taking necessary responsibilities as they are afraid of facing challenges in life. What’s more, they feel good by ignoring their duties since they have a sense of insecurity and inferiority complex; they don’t believe in themselves and think that they will not be able to carry it out properly. However, they regret in future after realizing that they should have completed them on the right time.

13Dream a lot but not take necessary actions to make it come true

There would be hardly anyone who does not dream of anything; however, a dream comes true only when it becomes a goal and the individual makes all possible attempts to attain victory. There’s no use of a dream if you don’t have will to make it come true. Indeed it will be difficult but remarkable things don’t come easy and what comes easy does not remain valuable for us. Agree?

14Make a choice just to please the partner

When a person is in a relationship, he/she doesn't want to hurt the partner and thus takes any decision, especially a big one, mutually. However, that decision may not be correct and there are chances that the individual repents later on for taking the partner’s advice and wasting the precious time that could have been utilized in something fruitful.

15 Staying in the company of bad people

It doesn’t take much time to understand who is taking us to a wrong path and just because we like that person, we don’t want to leave his/her company. However, staying in the company of bad people will ultimately result in developing bad habits which will eventually ruin your future and life.
