see not what it was,
not what it is,
but what it will be.
implying that do not look back at the past because it has already taken place and it won't make any difference to determining what you do and who you are now. do not look at the present but at the future because the future is what determines what you will be doing now.
whether a person acheives victory in what he/ she does depends greatly on the state of mind upon entering the competition area or when receiving a particular task. how is one suppose to succeed with the mindset that "i will lose for sure"?
au voirs!
