With the questions in paragraph 13, the author means that there is no point in wasting time wondering what would have happened if a particular failed situation in the past had been experienced differently, it is better to use that time to accept failure and think in the next steps that will be taken towards the goal that each one has.

Explanation:

"You Are the Electric Boogaloo" features a letter from the author for the teen version of himself. In this letter he wishes to send a message to his past self about a very shameful occasion that he lived.

The author starts by showing what he likes about his teen version, until he comments when he went to participate in a break contest and was unable to spin on the floor because the rouoa he was wearing was not appropriate. Instead of spinning efficiently, the author injured his back, writhed in pain and was the subject of laughter in the audience.

The author shows how it demotivated and filled him with shame, besides, he spent a lot of time thinking "what if I had won", "what if a talent scout had found me?", "What if I had become famous? " among others.

The letter's author wants to show that these questions are terrible and that he shouldn't spend time thinking about it. But you must take advantage of failure as an experience and a story to tell in the future. What he must do is turn it around and think about the next steps in his career.
