“We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience”
— George Washington

Simplified Meaning:
When we think about our past, the main goal should be to learn from our mistakes. Instead of feeling sad or angry about things that went wrong, we should try to understand what happened so we don't make the same errors again. For example, imagine you failed a test because you didn't study enough. Rather than feeling bad, you can learn that studying more helps you do better next time. This attitude helps us grow and improve. By using our past experiences this way, we become wiser and make better choices in the future.
