I suppose I am a quote nut, a proverb junkie. I like to hear about what people I respect have learned and try to NOT have to learn the same lessons over again on my own.
I determined a long time ago to try to accept the wisdom of the older and not make the same mistakes again, but rather learn new things. Looking back on my life, I see that too often I made the same mistakes, relearned the same lessons. I should have listened better.
