“Forget mistakes. Forget failure. Forget everything except what you're going to do now”
— Will Durant
Simplified Meaning:
This quote encourages you to stop thinking about your past errors and unsuccessful attempts. Instead, it advises you to focus entirely on what you are about to do next. Imagine you are playing a soccer game and you missed an easy goal earlier. If you keep worrying about that miss, you might lose focus and play poorly for the rest of the game. But if you concentrate on your current opportunity, like trying to pass the ball or take another shot, you can still succeed. This approach can also help in everyday life. For example, if you did poorly on a test, dwelling on it won't help your grades. Instead, focus on studying harder for the next test to improve. By keeping your attention on what you can control and do now, you give yourself a better chance to perform well and achieve your goals.
