"常にフロントガラスに集中し、バックミラーには焦点を当てないようにします"
— Colin Powell
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are driving a car. To keep moving forward and avoid accidents, you need to look through the big front window to see where you're going. If you keep looking in the small rearview mirror to see what's behind you, you could crash because you’re not paying attention to the road ahead. This idea can be applied to life. Spending too much time thinking about past mistakes or things you can't change can stop you from moving forward. It's more important to concentrate on what’s in front of you, like your goals and the opportunities you can still take. For example, if someone lost their job, instead of dwelling on losing it, they should start looking for new job opportunities. By focusing on the present and future rather than the past, you are more likely to make progress and succeed. This approach helps you stay positive and proactive, rather than stuck and regretful.
