About This Quote

When someone or something is "forward-thinking," that means that they are always thinking about the future. They are always thinking about what is going to be best for them in the future. But, in order to make good decisions in the future, it is important to think about things that have already happened. It is also important to think about the present, the past and the future all at once in order to figure out what might be best for them. If we don’t think about these things, we might make poor decisions and end up regretting them later on.
