You Are The Person Who Has Learned

 “You are not your past, you are you, you are you right now.  The past…you might have done some things you wish you had not done...don't dwell on that, learn from it, that’s fine, but do not dwell on it, just keep moving, keep moving. You know, use it, use it as fuel, say ‘never again,’ you know, I get what I did was wrong, but don’t think you are that person that made those mistakes -- you are the person who has learned.”

- Joe Rogan

A wise old owl sat on an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke.  The less he spoke the more he heard. 

Why aren't we like that wise old bird?
