Wisdom can be defined as the ability and propensity to learn from other's experiences rather than forging ahead to learn the hard way on your own.
Indeed. I tried (in vain) to explain this principle to my step-daughter.

You're just not gonna live long enough to make all the available mistakes on your own. There's more than a life-time supply. :/

There's a quote I've seen attributed to Will Rogers that goes like this:
There is the one who learns by reading, the few who learn by observation, and the rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
I used to try to be the one, but being among the few offers the best opportunity to point and laugh.

Pretty unlikely that Will Rogers ever saw an electric fence. He died the year before The Rural Electrification Act. You never know, though. Could have seen a few in Hollywood.

It was him if you take BrainyQuote.com as a reliable source. Also Mark Twain used one in his novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, circa 1889.

Roddenberry introduced most of us to warp drive in the 60's even though they are waiting for Shatner and Stewart to die before they tell us about the real one.
