The famous saying about not regretting for doing nothing comes from "How Steel Was Tempered". The original sentence is that the most precious thing for human beings is life. Life is only once for a person. Therefore, a person's life should be spent like this: when a person looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of being inactive;

In this way, when he is dying, he can say: , I have dedicated my whole life and all my energy to the most precious cause in life - fighting for the liberation of mankind. We must live in a hurry because even a sudden illness or accident can end our lives.

The creative background of the famous saying "Don't regret for doing nothing".

In the late 1920s and early 1930s, with the end of the New Economic Policy and the establishment of Stalin’s political and economic system, there was also a demand for a highly centralized and unified situation in the literary and art circles. During this period, the theme of Soviet literature was to praise socialist transformation and construction, to praise the party and leaders, and to create a glorious image of new Soviet people.

Ostrovsky responded to the official call and began to write "Steel". Paul's simple class feelings, fanatical dedication, beautiful longing for communism and absolute belief in the leader Obedience was exactly what Stalin needed to pursue his line. It also gave birth to the famous saying "Don't regret for doing nothing".
