We waste too much time complaining or feeling dejected about not achieving or getting something whereas we know that any effort and action in the form of hard work or smart work towards the desired goal would be a better use of our time.

Another mistake is to focus too much on the past, trying to make our past look or sound better whereas we need to orient our thoughts and analytical power on the future.
