About This Quote
In order for people to trust the future enough to move forward, they tend to hold on to ideas about the past. If people don’t trust in the future, they keep things the way they are and never change. This makes them hate their past and hate change because change could mean a loss of something in the past. When we think long-term and plan for the future, we can see past mistakes and learn to avoid them in the future. We can learn from our mistakes and use that to our advantage in the future.
