Sometimes, you’ve got to learn the hard way because there’s no substitute for experience. Remember, you will never know what it’s like to love someone by watching romantic movies. You will never know what it feels like to win by watching other people win. You’ve got to experience life for yourself. In any case, it’s only with hindsight that your decision may be described as stupid, and believe it or not, those decisions will make you a better person in the long run because the lessons learned will be with you forever.

Just remember, you’re never too old to live because you’re never too old to learn.
