The greatest mistake you can make is to allow your past to determine your present and, even worse, your future. You will immediately answer that you never do that. Think carefully: honestly, whenever you make a decision, are sure you take into consideration only the elements that are presently at your disposal, without remembering past 'similar' situations? You might say that you have to learn from the past. Sure. But don't forget that, although situations can be similar, are never the same. Therefore your present should be fresh, all new, open to possible choices that have nothing to do with what has been. Once you are beyond the first rudiments of maths, you go on and perform more complicated operations without thinking of how to sum 2 and 2. The past makes you what you are, i.e. an individual able to make different choices, to find new solutions.
