This video is sarcastically giving an example of how to not spend your time. Living in the past thinking about one's mistakes is clearly a waste of time.

I like the quote because fear prevents us from taking risks and discovering new things. As Will Smith's grandma once said: “The best things in life are on the other side of fear.”
