1. Once lost, time can never be regained.

“Lost time is never found again.” — Benjamin Franklin.

When we are young, we assume we have all the time in the world to pursue our dreams and ambitions. As we become older, we realize that time flies by far faster than we ever expected.

2. Once spoken, a word can never be retrieved.

“Words spoken can never be recalled.” — Wentworth Dillon

We should be careful with our words since we can’t take them back once we say them. Be especially wary of statements said in the heat of the moment. We all make mistakes and say things we don’t mean.

3. Once missed, an opportunity can never be regained.

“Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you will miss them.” — William Arthur Ward

Take advantage of each opportunity that presents itself to you. It is preferable to do so rather than living a life filled with regrets.
