*The way you did it before isnt "the best way" or RIGHT way. It's just *a way that worked THAT time **

Being attached to the past might hinder good decision-making. The assumption that the way one works is the best way simply because it's the way it has always been done can be misleading. The advice given by others is based on their own experiences and may not be applicable to one's unique situation. The belief that what works for oneself will work for others is flawed. People's stories and experiences have different data points. It is important to remain open to the possibility that there may be better alternatives and not get complacent with what seems to work. The misconception that the brain stops changing and learning after a certain age has been proven wrong. Plasticity exists throughout the lifespan.

It is crucial to question and challenge established beliefs and be open to unconventional ideas.
