NOTE

Why ex post perspective is better and using advice effectively

The ex post perspective is better because it allows people to reflect on their choices and understand if their reasons for not taking action were valid. Regrets often arise when individuals realize that their reasons for inaction were actually not valid. To effectively use advice, it should be treated as a reminder of things that are already known. It is helpful to encapsulate advice in a way that can be easily remembered. Institutions, particularly educational institutions, can encourage the use of advice by incorporating it into their curriculum, teaching life skills, cultivating good habits, and providing guidance for navigating unclear situations.
