一名护士告诉你，病人临终前最后悔的五件事，也就是生命中真正重要的五件事
一名护士告诉你，病人临终前最后悔的五件事，也就是生命中真正重要的五件事
Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their death bed，它的原文是一名叫Bronnie Ware的护士写的。Bronnie Ware专门照顾那些临终病人，所以有机会听到很多人临终前说出他们一生里最后悔的事。她作了一个概括，有5件事是大多数人最后悔的。
我很幸运的发现，这五件事除了第二件事，关注孩子，我没做到以外，
四是，追随自己的心，也就是追随自己的梦想，也就是下面第一条所说的。
婚外情虽然不守道德约束，但却是心与梦想。敢梦想，敢追寻，这就是我的人生动力。
一个失去了梦想的人，就如果大海中一只迷失了方向的船，不知道去哪里，永远也到不了目的地，因为没有梦想，也就没有目的地。
好的，下面看正文：
1.我希望当初我有勇气过自己真正想要的生活，而不是别人希望我过的生活。
这是所有后悔的事中最常听到的。
心理学上有个理论，较之那些我们做过的事，人们后悔的往往是那些没做的事。所以当人们在生命尽头往回看时，往往会发现有好多梦想应该实现，却没有实现。你的生活方式、你的工作、你的感情、你的伴侣，其实我们多少人过着的是别人希望你过的生活，而不是自己真正想要的生活——又可能，一直以来你把别人希望你过的生活当作是你想要的生活。
当你疾病缠身时，才发现其实自己应该而且可以放下很多顾虑追求你要的生活，似乎已经晚了一点。
2.我希望当初我没有花这么多精力在工作上。
Ware说这是她照顾过的每一个男病人会说的话。因为工作，他们错过了关注孩子成长的乐趣，错过了爱人温暖的陪伴，这是他们最深的后悔与愧疚。其实对于现在的职业女性来说，这也将成为一个问题。
如果把你的生活变简单些，你也许会发现自己在做很多你以为你需要做其实不需要你做的事。腾出那些事占的空间，可能你会过得开心一点。
3.我希望当初我能有勇气表达我的感受。
太多的人压抑自己的感受与想法，只是为了“天下太平”，不与别人产生矛盾。渐渐他们就成了中庸之辈，无法成为他们可以成为的自己。其实，有很多疾病与长期压抑愤怒与消极情绪有关。
也许当你直言不讳，你会得罪某些人。但可能从此以后因为你的中肯，你们不打不相识；又或者翻脸，正好让你摆脱这种需要你压抑自己感受才能维持的累人关系。不管哪一种结果，你都是赢家，不是吗？——不过当然，直言不讳还是有底线的。
4.我希望当初我能和朋友保持联系。
老朋友的好，我们总要到自己有事了的时候才会想到。
多少人因为自己忙碌的生活忽略了朋友忽略了曾经闪亮的友情。很多人临终前终于放下钱、放下权，却放不下心中的情感与牵挂。朋友也好，爱人也罢，其实生命最后的日子里，他们才是我们最深的惦念。
5.我希望当初我能让自己活过开心点。
也许有点出乎意料，但这一条也在前5之中。很多人直到生命的最后才发现，“快乐是选择”。
他们在自己既定习惯和生活方式中太久了，习惯了掩饰，习惯了伪装，习惯了在人前堆起笑脸。就像五月天的那首歌，“你不是真正的快乐，你的笑只是你给的保护色”。他们以为是生活让他们不快乐，其实是他们自己让自己不快乐了。

我很幸运的发现，这五件事除了第二件事，关注孩子，我没做到以外，
其余的四件事我都已经意识到而且正在做，
可以说这5件事，就是我的人生哲学。
我见过的我身边的朋友同事，很多人即使看到这5条，也做不到，
因为其性格决定了，不具备我这种特殊性格的人是无论如何也做不到这5条的。
我之所以能做到这点是来自于我的星座和血型和遗传因素所决定的性格所决定的。
这种性格是复杂的，我自己其实也在不断的通过我处理事情的方式，感受，想法来不断探索了解我自己。 简单概括用一个词来形容我这种人的性格，这个词就是，疯子。
具体一点来说疯子有以下几个特点：
一是敢于冒险，勇敢，具有赌徒的侥幸心理，赌输了也全然不在意，继续下注，可以说无论在感情上的，还是在事业上的最大的收获无不来自于冒险尝试。
二是开朗乐观，经历的失恋，失业，等等的困境越多，越渴望快乐，懂得选择快乐。
三是坦诚，直言不讳，即使得罪所有人，被同学开除同学会，被朋友踢出圈子，被朋友断交，被老板炒鱿鱼，被老婆闹离婚，我也还是会毫不犹豫的在所不辞的公开我的想法。我不会顾及别人的面子，而且 丝毫不会顾及。这就如同一个过滤器，过滤掉的，离开我的朋友，都不是我真正的朋友。留下来的朋友才是经过检验的真正的朋友。
四是，追随自己的心，也就是追随自己的梦想，也就是下面第一条所说的。
婚外情虽然不守道德约束，但却是心与梦想。敢梦想，敢追寻，这就是我的人生动力。
一个失去了梦想的人，就如果大海中一只迷失了方向的船，不知道去哪里，永远也到不了目的地，因为没有梦想，也就没有目的地。

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.
I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.
When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.
It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never
became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a
result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical
details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end.
That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

I am posting this because we all need some reminding about what is important in life before it’s too late. These are regrets from folks who are out of time and we should at least read what dying people have to say. I have been with many dying patients and their families who often express the same regrets and speak to me on behalf of their loved ones and themselves.
Life at times can be unexpectedly short and I am not sure I want to look back having too many regrets. Although it is really hard I find to actually live without complaints or worries. Cherish the ones that are close to you….that is hard to remember with this crazy world we live in but a good thing to try to practice. Working? Well, too bad we adventure riders were not financially supported to go out and see the world…we have to work right? Work hard, make a lot of money so we can travel? Fine line trying to work out that balance in life.
This is a simple yet poignant article and maybe if one of the readers of this blog learns something, changes something in their life because of the wisdom of dying people then it is worth the post. I for one will try to practice what they “preach” or shall I say warn us living folks about what not to do.
