    But only when you’re a good student.

    I know a LOT of people who make the same mistakes and suffer from the same consequences again and again, without ever learning.

      I remember reading a study awhile ago that was kind of shocking:

      Most people when they make a mistake/s need someone/thing to show them why it was a poor decision and how it led to consequences.

      Less people than that are able to learn from their mistakes on their own.

      And the smallest group, people that just flat out never learn, even if everyone points it out to them.
