Why can't we talk about regret when it comes to transition…
“Why can't we talk about regret when it comes to transition in the same way that we talk about regret with everything else? People move across the country all the time for new jobs. Sometimes it doesn't work out, which doesn't mean that you were bad at the job. It also doesn't mean that nobody else should ever move across the country for a new job.”
