In my opinion, one should always regret choices with bad outcomes and never regret choices with good outcomes.

Take care to avoid hindsight bias. Outcomes are not always direct consequences of choices. There's usually a chance element to any major decision. The smart bet that works 99.99% of the time can still fail. It doesn't mean you made the wrong decision.
