The principle of “Oh Well!”

Oh Well – Used when something is mildly disappointing, but not enough to obsess about (according to Urban Dictionary).

Here’s a very simple principle of “Oh Well” that I picked up from the book How Women Rise by Sally Helgeson and Marshall Goldsmith that I recently listened to. When you have a regret, a disappointment or a worry, say “Oh well” and move on. Don’t ruminate on things (ruminating is for cows – cows ruminate also called cud-chewing). Just say “oh well” and let it go and move on.
