“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way”
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
If you keep thinking about the past, it can stop you from moving forward in life. Imagine trying to walk forward while looking backward; you might trip or miss what’s ahead. Sometimes, people get stuck on their old mistakes or regrets, which makes it hard for them to grow or try new things. For instance, if you didn’t do well in a school exam, constantly worrying about it won’t change your future results. Instead, it's better to focus on studying more for the next exam. By concentrating on what lies ahead and learning from past experiences, you can make better choices and move towards your goals.
