This is nothing more than ideas and musings that come across my mind over the past few years. It’s funny how you tend to get a lot more philosophical as you approach the end of your life. My father taught me a long time ago that experience is the best teacher and the best experience comes from those who have persisted after making repeated mistakes until they succeed. If you can learn from them, you can avoid making the same mistakes they made. This is called wisdom! This is how you can save a tremendous amount of time, effort, money and pain. First you must try. Edison said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again until you do succeed.” Learn from mistakes, either your own or that of others (your choice). If I can leave the world any kind of legacy, this is what I want to do. These are lessons from a failure who succeed (sort of). I have made plenty of mistakes and I have learned the hard way “what not” to do!
