One Regret

I've been regretting one thing.

When I was in an ESL (English as a Second Language) class, I had a presentation about the Internet in developing and developed countries. That was the best presentation I've ever done. But, there was one phrase I didn't say in class, only because I was too afraid to get lower mark by saying that.

That was like this, " But, you know what? When I first heard the words 'developing' and 'developed,' I thought 'developing' sounds much much better. Because it sounds lively, but 'developed' sounds dead."
We had been held up to use the phrase, "You know what?" so I hadn't said, but if I had said that phrase, I could have given some pleasure to the classmates who were from 'developing' countries.

I learned that any restraint doesn't require to give a pleasure.
