Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that I know now that would have been extremely useful to me earlier in my life; things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years—and most of those that I inflicted on others too.

I just thought this was interesting and posted it.

Is there some reason you have to excerpt for a blog?

Youth is a time of life that’s wasted on the young

Lyric to "The Second Time Around"

Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young

A glance at my gf, my house and my 401K confirm I was right all along about everything. Even the bad stuff was good for me.

I wouldn’t change a thing. If I didn’t marry my first wife, I may have never met the second one.

Everything works out for the best.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

heh, that would be me and I’m far too young to have been in that flick..:-)

bump for later.

I might only be 25 years old, but I’ve learned most of these. Most of them the hard way. Now, if only I understood women...

[reagan_fanatic]

I wish I would have known to invest all my money in Microsoft back in the early eighties.

[Thrownatbirth]

Yep. Just wish it didn't take so long. ;-)

Now, if only I understood women...

That bridge to Hawaii -- do you want two lanes, or four?

[Deguello]

I were able to apply everything I now know about women to when I was younger, none of it would make a difference.

[SlowBoat407]

Don’t worry. You’re doing it now.
