Below are the 10 Human Regrets that i found it so interesting to be shared. It was written by Robin Sharma in his book The Leader Who Had No Title.
As i was reading this, it strikes my mind so forcibly on what Osho had said on The Joy Of Living Dangerously. Here again i would like to borrow some of Osho's word to inspire the tribes.
"You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. ~Mary Manin Morrissey"
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” ― John Lennon
“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” ― Plato
“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
― Stanley Kubrick
And this is from Osho. Which i used in one of my leadership training. Fearlessness Leadership.

In the beginning there is no much difference between the
coward and the courageous person. The only difference is, the coward listens to
his feal and follows them, and courageous person puts them aside and goes
ahead. The courageous person goes into the unknown in spite of all fears.
Courage means going into the unknown in spite of all the
fears. Courage does not mean fearlessness. Fearlessness happens if you go on
being courageous and more courageous. That is the ultimate experience of
courage-fearlessness.
When you go into the uncharted sea like Columbus did, there
is fear, immense fear, because one never knows what is going to happen. You are
leaving the shore of safety. You were perfectly okay,in a way; only one this is
missing -adventure. Going into the unknown gives you thrill. The hearts start
pulsating again; again you are alive, fully alive. Every fiber of your being is
alive because you had accepted the challenge of the unknown.
Life does not listen to you logic, it goes on its own way,
undisturbed. You have to listen to life,
life will not listen to your logic, it does not bother about your logic.
When you move
into life, what do you see? A great storm comes, and big trees fall. They
should survive, according to Charles Darwin, because they are the fittest,
strongest, most powerful. Look at an ancient tree, three hundred feet high,
three thousand years old. The very presence of the tree creates strength, gives
a feeling of strength and power. Millions of roots have spread inside the
earth, gone deep, and the tree is standing with power. Of course the tree
fights—it doesn’t want to yield, to surrender—but after the storm, it has
fallen, it is dead, it is no longer alive, and all that strength has gone. The
storm was too much—the storm is always too much, because the storm comes from
the whole, and a tree is just an individual
Then there are small
plants and ordinary grass—when the storm comes the grass yields, and the storm
cannot do any harm to it. At the most it can give it a good cleansing, that’s
all; all the dirt that has gathered on it is washed away. The storm gives it a
good bath, and when the storm has gone, the small plants and the grasses are
again dancing high. The grass has almost no roots, it can be pulled out by a
small child, but the storm was defeated. What happened?
The grass followed the way of Tao, the way of
Lao Tzu, and the big tree followed Charles Darwin. The big tree was very
logical: it tried to resist, it tried to show its strength. If you try to show
your strength, you will be defeated. All Hitlers, all Napoleons, all Alexanders
are big trees, strong trees. They will all be defeated. Lao Tzus are just like
small plants: nobody can defeat them because they are always ready to yield.
How can you defeat a person who yields, who says, “I am already defeated,” who
says, “Sir, you enjoy your victory, there is no need to create any trouble. I’m
defeated.” Even an Alexander will feel futile before a Lao Tzu, he cannot do
anything. It happened; it happened exactly like that … .
