“What's done cannot be undone.”

William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:

When something has already happened, you can't change it, no matter how much you might want to. For example, if you spill milk on the floor, you can't put the milk back in the glass. All you can do is clean up the mess and be more careful next time. This idea reminds us not to waste time worrying about past mistakes. Instead, it's better to focus on what we can do now to improve the situation or learn from it. By accepting that some things are irreversible, we free ourselves from regret and can move forward with a positive attitude.
