Made a lot of poor choices "in my day" and I give credit to each and every one for getting me to where I am today!

Today, when I look photos of all the girls I knew in high school, I’m thankful they never gave me the time of day. “What might have been.”

I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

Lol

The only time I look back is if there’s still a chance to impact that decision otherwise I make the best decision I can with the information at hand and then do anything feasible to it the absolute best decision possible. Never look back, never give up, never second guess.

"If wishes were horses, then dreamers would ride."

Not really any point in looking back at one's mistakes, other than to prevent a similar one in the future. Learn your lesson and move on.

I liked a line from "Vikings"...Ragnar's kids are looking back at their village as they are sailing off. Ragnar says "Don't look back, we're not going that way". Which reminds me of the lesson I learned in motorcycle riding...Look where you want to go. If you look at something you're trying to avoid, you'll drive right into it.
