A learned man once said 'dead people receive more flowers than a living one', giving importance to what is done and can't be changed is a futile aspect of life, instead we should learn from it and try not to repeat it.

Looking back and regretting is a futile task.
Instead of looking and thinking that I should have done this or that thing in a different manner, I would analyze the situation, my response to the situation and learn from that. If a mistake is done, it can't be reversed so any point regretting it. Rather I'll learn from it and make sure never to repeat it.
Moreover, I think that mistakes and failures are not the ends, rather they are stepping stones towards success.
And the thing is that when I look back, I am fully satisfied with whatever right or wrong things I did in my past because this past has made me what I am today.

Even though I'm not living with regret in my life as I'm satisfied with my present life but what I would like to do different, is my lately focus on my career.

I am in class 8 and I only want to say that I learnt that we can't change our past even if we want to change it. We can only learn from the past and try to make our present and future best.

Past time was my learning time so I have learned lots of thing for the present. So it's time to explore my experience in present and need to earn whatever I have loose in past. I am looking to achieve my life goal for future and present which I have planned.

I would do exactly what I did in the past, my decisions at that time were based on the available environment, information and ability. Going through what, I think was, wrong a decision made me who I am today.

By looking back I will correct my present so as to succeed in future. Because the future of my family is directly proportional to my success.

Looking back won't give me chance to change my past but it will surely help me to change my present and future as we can learn from the past mistakes and can implement it for better results in today and tomorrow.
