24. We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're
curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your
energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.
Looking back isn't going to help you. Moving forward is the thing you have to do.
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what
you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
