Going away speech

People often ask you at the end (well, really a change) of a career if you have any regrets. Is there something you would do differently, now that you know the consequences, your deathbed confessions of life changing decisions, minor twists that inordinately changed the direction of later events, what you wish you had done or or what you wish you had not done or stopped doing over and over and over.

You will regret many things. But of all those individual things, you will regret the many times you've had to regret things and you will regret that you failed to regret the things you've done and haven't done. You will probably regret hearing this too.

But now that you are a half step out of our daily lives, I'll tell you this: at your new place, things will look up, things will look down and you may miss all those good ol' days and familiar likeable and happy faces, just feel comfortable in that, once the door has closed behind you, whatever happens back there, those that are left behind will end up blaming you for it.
