I was in college and was in a class with a very famous professor. He was very jolly, very deep, very challenging, and he rode a really cool black bicycle around campus. He and it together were amazing, almost mythical. It had this long banana seat and small wheels and was legendary.
Our class was meeting in a different building and the professor realized he needed something from his office. Rather than going himself, he asked me to go get it for him – of course because I was so responsible and wouldn’t do anything foolish.
I walked out of the building and immediately saw the black bike.
in a building and he realized that he needed something from his office. He asked me to go back and get it for him. I walked out of the building and saw the bike.
I knew I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I could walk to his office, or I could ride in style.
Because this is listed as a regret, you probably can guess what I picked.
To this day, I know I should have taken the bike.
