Jubilee Project: 50 People, 1 Question

What does this video mean to me?
This video really hit home for me, especially since 2012 is right around the corner. This video provoked me because of the amount of people that said they do not hold regrets. You see, as I started to watch this video, I thought the opposite. I was positive that I was in for 6:35 of stories; life stories that would teach me what not to do. Looking back, I can't believe that I thought this way. I asked myself afterward, "Why would you want to listen to 6 minutes of negativity, do you enjoy hearing about other people's problems?" Quickly, I responded "no." However, I do believe that by evaluating my response, I learned more about myself and society. I believe that I (a piece of society) focus too much on the negative. I constantly tell myself things like, "Don't fail," or "don't forget to..." Instead of saying things like "Pass," or "Remember to..." Surely these are minor things, but they definitely add up. Subconsciously, I hoped that this video would provide the same negative thoughts on what not to do.

What am I going to do?
There's no possible way for me to get rid of all the negative thoughts that stir in my head. However, as my New Year's resolution, I want to speak more positively about myself and others. I believe that if I try to do something more, rather than focus on not doing something, or doing it less, I will produce better results. I hope that this video, as well as my insight, made all of my readers think about themselves, their New Year's resolution, or anything else profound.
