There are so many lessons that I wish I had learned when I was young enough to appreciate and apply them. The problem with wisdom and often life, in general, is that they were learned afterward, long after we needed them. The good news is that other people can benefit from our experiences and teachings.
Life is a learning process. You can learn important life lessons by reading, watching instructional videos, or through experience. You can save a lot of time and energy by learning from the experiences of others.
