Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy. — © George W. Bush
Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy.

We can, on occasion, begin to accept a difficult situation's contribution to our wholeness while caught in the turmoil.
Part of my problem as a young writer was that I was too much a New Yorker, always second-guessing the 'market.'
