I share a lesson about experience. The experience that I have now is a plus for me, but something quality-wise not always inherent in decisions I made when younger and in full-time work.

At times I made blues and could have done better but I tried very hard based on what I knew.

Alas in my retirement and my septugenarian years I now look back and wish that I had the experience of today in my younger years, or to put it more politically I wish “I had the experience of today in my life of yesteryear“.

The paradox is that from the viewpoint of hindsight, it’s too often the case of looking back on what I did that could’ve been done better and seeing the same mistakes being made by today’s leadership generation, who do not have the experience that I have now gained.

So often you see “history repeating“ and one is powerless to do anything about what’s going down.
