In our life journey, some times we come to the crossroad and we have to choose the way.
It's not about regret, may be evaluation, but do you wonder from time to time about what it would be like if you have chosen the other way.
Please feel free to contribute and share.
Do you wonder, what it would like be if you have chosen the other way?
Yes I do but I called it "reflection" - reflect what I'd done & the outcome yielded vs if I do it differently, what will be the different outcome etc. Personally this approach is not new to me but very useful to self-examine myself how to do better next time.
During my PhD days - I still remembered my supervisor / professors always liked to ask: "if you are given another opportunity to redo the same research, how you will do it differently?". So I have to think how to answer the question through reflection.

When you pass the crossway you don't have quetions. You just follow your dreams by heart.
Dear @Han Ping Fung
Thank you,
Reflection as you said, is a very important step to get more profit from your experiences so that the next time you could do better.
Dear @Luay Abdulwahid Shihab
Thank you for participating, but what do you mean exactly,
Thanks
Occasionally, when I am tired and still have one or more papers to write that day. However, I know in my heart I am in the right program to counsel children in foster care and others. It is when the work gets harder and more than what we feel we can do that students wonder if there is something else that is "easier." If the person can distinguish between being physically and mentally tired from "I hate studying this; I don't want to do this kind of work, ever!" Then it is time to go back to when you made your decision in the first place. Why did you select that program? What did you want to do with that knowledge after you obtained a degree? If it has changed, ask yourself: "what has changed between then and now"? Why am I thinking about changing my major at this time?
Every college provides an academic adviser for each student. The counselor is very knowledgeable about your area of study, and can help any student within their purview. They offer sensible and very helpful options for each student to think about going forward. Going to college for a bachelor's, master's, doctorate degree is very, very time intensive and expensive. You will need to be committed to your end goal. If you are not, talk to an academic adviser; they can help you work through your thoughts and feelings.
