Many people have wishes about their professional lives. 'I wish I spoke another language fluently,' says Pedro. 'It would open so many doors.' Ana says: 'I wish I had studied IT at university. I regret not learning more about technology when I had the chance. If only I had done a coding course five years ago!' Tom says: 'I wish I worked closer to home. My commute is two hours a day. If only the company had an office nearer my house!' These wishes are very common. The good news is that some wishes, like learning a language or a new skill, are still possible — it is never too late.

💡 Did you know? Psychologists call the pain of missed opportunities 'counterfactual thinking'. Interestingly, people tend to regret things they did NOT do far more than things they did — especially in the long term.
