Possessing hindsight is the ability to comprehend, based on past mistakes, valuable lessons for the future.

The knowledge of hindsight is plain, but it comes at a high price.

Foresight is gained through experience, but it does not always have to come from personal experience.

Youths are surrounded by older, wiser, and more experienced persons who gladly share insights they have learned. Many, however, are not made better by this potential knowledge, for they fail to grasp it.

Everyone has hindsight. Will you have foresight? Prudence demands it.
