The rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield

"In the business world, unfortunately, the rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield." - Warren Buffett.

Business is full of uncertainties. A rear-view mirror reflection of a vehicle is usually better than the windshield. That additionally assists us with driving carefully, like we ought to be maintaining a
business. What we encountered is considered a benchmark. We utilise this benchmark to push forward and not repeat the mistakes.

As we navigate the dynamic business landscape, these words of wisdom from the legendary Warren Buffett turn out as expected. Each choice and achievement, whether triumphant or testing, adds to the back view reflect that shapes our way ahead.

- Since the windshield is less clear, in business also, it is unimaginable to expect to predict any dangers generally.

- Regardless of whether the view isn't clear, we continue driving. Likewise, we continue to push forward in business.

- Very much like in driving, risks and dread are dependably existent. The same is the situation with business.

- Assuming we meet with an accident because of no clarity while driving,  we don't stop driving a car. Essentially, on the off chance that we run into misfortunes in a business, we don't quit working.

- A rear-view mirror provides us benchmarks and benchmarks because those are paths we have already taken

Similarly, in business, we experience specific ways, fortunate or unfortunate. We should embrace the illustrations of the past while controlling with assurance towards an imaginative and fruitful future.
