The best way to learn is the hard way,
the way that entails a stiff climb.
Nothing worth doing is easy.
There's a price to be paid every time....

Experience teaches it's lessons-
whatever the subject may be -
If you can learn from your blunders.
If you are able to see-
just where you took your wrong turnings
and broke under pressure and strain -
you will be wiser and stronger
for starting all over again.

There isn't a shortcut to wisdom
There isn't an easier way.
No book ever written can teach you ,
what living can teach you in a day.

Your  head may be brimming with knowledge -
your wits may be sharp as a knife -
but until you have learnt it the hard way.
You don't know a thing about life.

- John H. Helfrich
