Does a rational person feel regret over past mistakes?

Clearly it is most productive to focus on the positive: What can you learn from your mistakes? Etc. Does this mean regret can be eliminated? What do you make of people who say they never have any regrets?

If a past mistake involves hurting another person, is one morally obligated to seek out that person and apologize?
