Mistake --> Consequence --> Regret
Mistake:
We really didn’t plan out our honeymoon schedule
I left my motion sickness pills at home
Consequence:
We ended up sitting in the last row.
I threw up five times on the flight to Vegas.
A pickpocket stole our wallets.
Regret:
I really wish I had booked tickets to the show before we left.
I know better than to carry lots of cash
How could I have been so stupid?
