Wisdom

I used to have a band teacher who said:
"the stupid person doesn't learn from his mistakes,
the smart person learns from his mistakes,
and the wise person learns from his neighbor's mistakes."
I have never met a wise person.
And very few smart people.
We've all heard it before, learn from what you've done wrong. But for most people, they drift across life without taking anything from it. The truth is, some lessons are just too painful to learn. Some mistakes are just too fun to make. And sometimes, we just have to see ourselves, what a mess we really made of our lives.
