Regrets

Its been one hectic day of job applications.
I've rejected a bunch of offers as well.
Its the best move.
I don't want to know in the back of my mind that I have backup offers.
I'm just going to apply half-heartedly in that case, and not even prepare my cover letters properly
I might not get any of the jobs I'm going for
But I'm going to give it my best shot
And if I don't get any of em, I'm going to start my own company and fight it out on my own

I'm not going to take any cushy, safe job offers.
Thats not my style
You might call me a gambler
but if you can't gamble on yourself, your own abilities, what can you gamble on?
I have absolute confidence that I was explode onto the world and achieve true success
I'm going for the big fish

When it comes to my academic life and my future career prospects, I have no regrets, absolutely
Its been a windy and twisty path, and I've failed more than one time. And i'm talking about big failures
But there are zero regrets
Without walking such a messed up path, I would not be who I am today
It was hard, beyond hard.
But I would not know that I had the ability to rise up from such a low point if I didn't walk that path
I wouldn't learn what I have today
And I wouldn't have the opportunity today to be fighting at the forefront of technology in the world

If I have regrets in my life, they are social regrets.
Oh how many friends I've treated harshly due to my immaturity when I was younger
For most of them, they contributed to it in some way or another.
It isn't as painful when I think about them
But for one person, D, the pain is still immense
It was all me. 110% my fault. There's no escaping reality.
