"Forget mistakes. Forget failure. Forget everything except what you're going to do now"
Simplified meaning
Let go of past errors and setbacks. Focus only on what actions you will take in the present moment. Imagine a student who failed a big test; instead of feeling bad and worrying about it, they decide to make a study plan and prepare better for the next one. By concentrating on what they can do now—like studying and practicing—they have a better chance to succeed. This advice is about living in the present and taking steps that will shape a better future, instead of being stuck in regrets or fears. Applying this, a person can move forward with a clear mind and more confidence.
