"The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection" ~Thomas Paine


It always amazes me how much more we can see when we look back and reflect on past events. There is always a hindsight bias, something we should have, could have, would have done differently. Sometimes I think we forget, though, that we can't change the past. We can only reflect on it and learn from it so that history doesn't repeat itself. And sometimes I think the reflection is just as important in the learning experience as the original experience was.
