    You can learn a lot from observation and reflection, but at some point you have to experience things that you can't see coming. There's nothing quite like learning from experiences because it really helps you understand things. Some mistakes are a lot more costly than others. As I always like to say, everyone makes mistakes, but one BIG mistake is all it takes.

    It helps to see it from the other side. When you're the one going though it a lot of the time you don't realize it's the same as before until it's too late.
