"Put your behind in your past"

Almost everyone has seen the Disney movie The Lion King.  Even if you haven't, you know the song "Hakuna Matata" that Timone and Pumba sing.  Based on a mindset of no worries, it may not be the best thought for all situations.

Before the song starts, Pumba (in incorrect terms) gives Simba the advice to put his past behind him.  Too many people constantly think about what could have been, or what went wrong in a situation.

Their past haunts them.

Do not let past failures in your job, company, or interview dictate how you think or act today.  The past has gone, and nothing you do will change it.

Move on.  Work to ensure that you never fail in that same way again.
