I also took the root of failing in my 20s with stocks, warrants and mutual funds. Ouch! We can save time by learning from the experience of others. The lessons are less poignant, but are instructive. In work and life, it's helpful to fail often and fail cheap. You get to learn lots quickly and then make adjustments. Excellent points.

My dad suggested that, and I took his advice! You can learn from winning but losing is so much more poignant. After you've tried it, never take winning for granted again! Along the same lines is BC Lion's coach Wally Buono's quote "Nothing good comes from losing." This was following a loss ending a winning streak. This was a coach and a team that took chances. But they also knew how to play defense, and how to protect the ball.
