This top ten regrets chart details anecdotes by those on their death bed. Because the last hours of life are a highly reflective time, it's no surprise that some pretty amazing information has been gathered from those in such a dire situation.
This infographic, unlike most hard-hitting pieces, features few statistics (if any) but focuses on personal insight instead. Among the biggest regrets experienced were not confessing feelings for others, not saving enough for retirement, working too much and avoiding conflicts. In addition to being full of worthwhile advice, the chart is also beautifully designed. Reading almost like a comic, the infographic includes illustrations of the elderly in the situations that they describe.
Sure to wake people up to the importance of life and choices, this infographic is a must-read no matter what one's age may be.
