"I've cheated myself: there are other things I could have done to fill out the bouquet of my career"

This quote by Robert Urich speaks with the concept of remorse and missed chances. Urich is reviewing his profession and the choices he has actually made, and is revealing regret that he has not done more to make his profession more satisfying. He is suggesting that he has cheated himself out of other opportunities that might have made his profession more successful and significant. Urich is implying that he has not made the most of the opportunities readily available to him, and that he could have done more to make his career more complete. This quote talks to the idea that all of us have the power to shape our own lives and professions, which we should take full advantage of the opportunities readily available to us. Urich's words work as a reminder to us all to make the most of our lives and to not let any chances pass us by.
