You Will Get Older But Not Necessarily Wiser

There is a saying that :"When we get older, we will get wiser".

How many of you do agree with it? And how many of you not?

I do believe that whatever we do in life is a trial and error process. Many may say that "Life is a Game". You keep doing it until you get it right. I doubt so... In any Game we play, for example Computer Game, PlayStation etc, we have a function called "Save" and another one called "Load"... In real life we don't have such functions, whatever we do there is no turning back. When we screw up we really screw up. We can only make correction to fix it.

We can always learn from the mistake we made, but we may not able to see the next one coming our way. We always want to learn from mistake so that we do not repeat the same mistake. Sometimes, we got scolded as"stupid" because we make a similar mistake, this is because the same mistake can come to us in a different form. Being wiser is not about not making mistake, it is about how can we escape from the upcoming mistake.

In life, we may go through a lot of mistake by learning the hard way. Or we can learn from other's mistake and hopefully we are much wiser through other people's experience.
