Rectify! The word, rectify, means, \u201cto put something right.\u201d
\nDevotee: \u201cI asked Prabhupada the other day: \u2018Because Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, \u2018Forget the past that sleeps, and of the future never dream at all. Live in times that are with thee, and progress thee shall call\u2019; does this mean that it\u2019s possible to forget the past?
\n\u201cSrila Prabhupada answered, \u2018No, that would not be possible, but we can think like this: \u2018I have done so many foolish things,\u2019 and then rectify them. Not that we should remain fools. Then what would be the value of our experience?\u201d
\n\u201cIsn\u2019t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?\u201d
\n\u2013 L.M. Montgomery
\n\u201cIf you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake.\u201d
\n\u2013 Confucius
\n\u201cWas it you or I who stumbled first? It does not matter. The one of us who finds the strength to get up first, must help the other.\u201d
\n\u2013Vera Nazarian
\n\u201cOne should not be discouraged in the discharge of devotional service. Failures may not be detrimental; they may be the pillars of success.\u201d

Rectify! The word, rectify, means, “to put something right.”
\nDevotee: “I asked Prabhupada the other day: ‘Because Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, ‘Forget the past that sleeps, and of the future never dream at all. Live in times that are with thee, and progress thee shall call’; does this mean that it’s possible to forget the past?
\n“Srila Prabhupada answered, ‘No, that would not be possible, but we can think like this: ‘I have done so many foolish things,’ and then rectify them. Not that we should remain fools. Then what would be the value of our experience?”
\n“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
