Looking backward gets us no closer to what we want; on the contrary, it is a surefire way to miss the challenges – and miss out on the opportunities – that lie before us. Trying to advance one’s interests based on the rules of the past is like trying to solve today’s crossword puzzle using yesterday’s clues.
但怀旧解决不了任何问题——仅仅是场逃避的美梦而已。回忆给不了我们想要的东西；相反，它却能让我们错过近在眼前的挑战和机遇。想要依据过去规则追求自身利益就像用昨天的线索来解今天的填字游戏。
