Most people have some regret that they just can’t seem to get rid of. But holding on to regret about the past that can’t be changed can have a bad impact on the possibility of a happy future. Regret is a waste of time, emotion and energy. To make sure that your life is a successful one, you need to take action to live in a way that you have no regret holding you back.
Some people make very big decisions with very little consideration at all, and as a result they often regret their decisions. Before choosing a college major, getting married or accepting a job, you must think about all conditions carefully and make a conscious decision rather than a careless one. Big decisions aren’t the only ones that require forethought, though. Before you become angry and say something you will regret later, think about what you’re going to say.
Some of things will be easy to do and some will be hard, but keep your eyes on the prize of living a successful life without regret, and you’ll find that achieving your goals might be easier than you think. But don’t just daydream about those goals—make an actual list, written down in black and white, and refer to it now and then to see what you have left to do.
When you’re feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn’t a problem. But in those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never coming out again, you still must take care of yourself. You can do what you want and don’t get angry with yourself about your shortcomings. On the contrary, you just admit them and try to change them and move on. Improving your mental health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.
Keep those who are important to you very close and be sure to let them know how important they are to you. Family, friends, co-workers and people who are as close as your families are your lifelines that you can depend on whenever you need them to help you remember what’s important in life. You should make sure of repairing your relationships with your friends if something bad happens.
Last but not least, learn to give yourself some relaxation and not to waste your time regretting things you cannot change. Treat those things properly and move on. Life is hard, but it is precious. Don’t waste time regretting the past, or your future will get here before you know it.

Detailed guidance on analytical feature
The definition of an analytical feature
Hard news is the kind of fast-paced news that usually appears on newspapers, magazines and some other mediums. Because each story is only relevant for a short time, writing must be concise and without excessive detail. Like a hard news story, an analytical feature also appeares on newspapers, magazines or on the web. However, an analytical feature covers a topic in some depth. It examines important issues or events in detail, provides more interpretation and background information for readers than hard news. Writing an analytical feature means looking for patterns, motives and outcomes that explain the event, issue or problem.
An analytical feature should be based on an investigation of documents in the public domain (archives, libraries, scholarships, local offices) and interview with people with knowledge related to the topic.
Step by step guide to feature writing
Select a topic.
Make a list of preliminary questions to establish what needs to be known about the topic. Here are some of the basic questions that a feature addresses:
What is the problem?
What institutions and people are involved?
What is the standing point?
What causes the problem?
What are the possible consequences?
List your sources—people, institutions, documents, books, articles that are likely to have information and answers to your questions.
Refine your questions: decide what you are going to look at in the written documents and what you are going to ask your potential sources.
Arrange your appointments/interviews/archival search in a logical sequence, following the plan for your basic questions.
Conduct interviews—know precisely what information you are trying to get from each source.
Write an outline that sets up the structure of the feature.
Go back to your notes, organize information, compare and contrast data, analyze material, identify missing information, expand the list of sources, conduct new interviews.
Write the feature.
Analytical feature structure
THE INTRO: The most important function of the introduction is to make the readers want to read on.
THE BODY OF THE FEATURE: The content of the feature will vary depending on the subject matter, style of publication, perceived interests of the readers and intentions of the journals. The following points are what you should include in the body of your feature:
Facts—include them at appropriate points throughout the text rather than in chunks.
Quotes—can bring writing to life; inject authority and powerful expression into the piece. Think carefully which bits of your research to quote and which bits to translate into your own words, as the simple facts of a story do not normally need to be told through direct quotes.
Description—let the readers see what you are seeing, show rather than tell.
Analysis—can be provided by experts who have conducted relevant research but it may be also provided by ordinary people with direct knowledge and involvement. Your own analysis of the topic should be based on extensive research and supported by evidence.
THE ENDING: Aim to provide a rounded ending of the text either in a form of summary, twist, quote or a return to the scene of the introduction.
