“People make mistakes. As often as not, the mistakes aren't deliberate or personal.
If you want to, you can let go of any feelings of resentment, of regret, of anger. You could let all these things get you down, fizzle away internally like some emotional acid making you ill and resentful and stuck. Try instead to let them go, embrace them as character forming and in general as positive rather than negative.
There is no going back, only forwards. Make it a motto for life - keep moving forwards.”

Accept what us done is done

“The Rule really is: be kind to yourself when you do muck things up. Be forgiving and accept that it's all part of that growing older but no wiser routine.
Looking back, we can always see the mistakes we made, but we fail to see the ones looming up.
The older you get, the more areas you've covered to make mistakes in.
As long as we look back and see where we went wrong and resolve not to repeat such mistakes, there is little else we need to do.
Remember that any Rules that apply to you also apply to everyone around you. Once you accept this, you'll be more forgiving and kinder towards yourself and others.
Time does heal and things do get better as you get older. After all, the more mistakes you've made, the less likely that you'll come up with new ones. The best thing is that if you get a lot of your mistakes over and done with early on in life, there will be less to learn the hard way later on. And that's what youth is all about, a chance to make all the mistakes you can and get them out of the way.”

“Rule 2
You'll get older but not necessarily wiser
Wisdom isn't about not making mistakes but about learning to escape afterwards with our dignity and sanity intact.”

“Observing life in general, people very broadly seem to fall into two main camps: those who seem to have mastered the knack of successful living and those who still find it all a bit of a struggle.
And when I say successfully mastered it, I don't mean by amassing wealth or being at the top in some stressful career.
People who are healthy and getting more out of life. Those who are still struggling tend to be not so happy on the whole, and the enjoyment of life just isn't what it should be.”

“Early in my career, observation of those around showed that there was a distinct set of behaviours that got people promoted.
If there were two people of equal ability, for example, and one dressed, thought and behaved as if they had already been promoted, they would be the one who got the next available job at that next level.”
