The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.

Knowledge earned through experience

by Ralph Marston

You cannot change the past but you can learn from it. What went well, what went wrong, what would you do different next time?

Don’t obsess over the past, don’t expect to get it back, don’t expect to receive a do-over. But don’t ignore it either.

The value of experience is in what you’re able to learn. From massive success, from heartbreaking failure, from everything in between, there’s a lot of great, useful information.

You won’t come across the same exact situation again. Yet you will face very similar challenges.

Knowing what works and what doesn’t work, enables you to move successfully through those challenges. Knowing you’ve done it before, regardless of the prior outcome, is a confidence booster with no equal.

Look back occasionally, realize and pay attention to what you’ve learned. Apply the knowledge you’ve earned through experience, and be more effective than ever before.
