Wisdom comes with experience, and the sad part is, often the
experience of others simply won't do. You have to make your own mistakes to
properly learn some lessons. Nevertheless, it's a teacher's job to try, and on
occasion, they'll find great ways to illustrate things that stick with us for
the rest of our lives. One Reddit user (since deleted) remembered a lesson that
stuck with him—of course, it could probably use an update to comment on what we
say on social media rather than just what we say aloud, but the core is
decidedly good advice. Better to take it than gain wisdom the hard way.
