"I mean that, sometimes, we must learn to accept that we were simply not meant to succeed at everything. We must accept our failures... and we must forgive ourselves for them. Otherwise... otherwise," he went on ruefully, "we may become so obsessed with our efforts to repair our mistakes that we are blinded to other priorities and end up causing more harm... We must stop living for the past, or we can never reach forward to sieze the future... Time to stop waiting for the past to resolve itsself and start looking forward to the future."

well, that's what picard said, it's hard to believe that a character like that actually meant it but it's a thought.

"The events we remmeber most readily are the exceptions to the pattern of our lives. And the pattern of your life is one of ongoing success at virtually everything you try." a little backstory about picard.
