25 regrets when we die

In my Japanese Blog, the article that I introduced the book which the end-of-life expert wrote is being read well.
For anyone, the thought is same: we do not want to die with regretting in one way or another.
It may be almost impossible to greet our last moments without a piece of regret.
But I want to think deeply about these 25 points at least.
  1. Not having valued health
  2. Not having given up smoking
  3. Not having displayed living will
  4. Having lost sight of a meaning of remedy
  5. Not having done anything he(or she) wanted
  6. Not having lived out a dream
  7. Having dyed a hand into an evil deed
  8. Having spent life swung around in feelings
  9. Not having been gentle to others
  10. Not having doubt that oneself was No.1.
  11. Not having decided disposition of inheritance
  12. Not having thought about funeral service
  13. Not having returned to the hometown
  14. Not having eaten a delicious thing
  15. Not having spared time for a hobby
  16. Not having traveled in the place he(or she) wanted to go
  17. Not having met the person who wanted to meet
  18. Not having done unforgettable romance
  19. Not having married
  20. Not having brought up a child
  21. Not having married a child off
  22. Not having left behind one's proof that lived
  23. Not having been got over life and a problem of the death
  24. Not having known God's instructions
  25. Not having informed "thank you" for an important person
