Why is it that we only learn about our shortcomings and attempt to change after we encounter the problem ourselves? It is for the better, to be sure, but often times, these problems are avoidable if we heed the warning from others or from our own common sense.
A smart person learns from his mistakes, but a smarter person learns from the mistakes of others. The obviousness and genius of this is that there are few of us who actually can. I try, but I usually only understand something once I deal with it personally.
Oh well. Have a nice weekend, and do better things. Be a better person.
