I'm 40 and I look back at the decisions I made when I was 30, and I see how little I knew. If I knew then what I know now I would have made four times as much progress in business & life in the last 10 years.
However, when I was 30, I remember looking back at when I was 20 and thinking the same thing. And it wasn't untrue then either.
This makes me wonder what I will think when I am 50. I feel confident at the moment that I am doing well, but am I going to look back at what I am doing right now, and shake my head at how much time I am wasting?
If you're not looking back at your former self and thinking of how stupid you were, then you're not making progress.
