Thought of the Day
The saying “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow” encourages a balanced approach to life by treating past experiences as lessons, making the most of the present, and staying optimistic about the future. Commonly linked to Albert Einstein, it highlights the importance of learning from mistakes without lingering on them, acting intentionally in the moment, and maintaining a hopeful, curious mindset for what lies ahead.
