......Experience, of course. And when the lesson that needs to be learned is important enough, it hardly matters whether that experience is positive or negative. When we look back on all the events that seem to confirm our wisdom, we have to wonder whether these have helped us or just conditioned us to remain upon a path that is so straight and narrow that it offers no scope for discovery.
Through looking at what has gone wrong in the past, you stand the best chance of making things right in the future.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
(Samuel Butler)
