Learning from Mistakes

I learnt somthing onboard ship last night. It apparently came from my CO.

Smart people learn from other people's mistakes.
Average people learn from own mistakes.
Stupid people don't learn at all.

Heh. Took it made alot of sense and i believe that our learning curves can be greatly accelerated just by means of observations.

Ha. THEN when i was bathing just now... i came up with my own version! a bit skewed.. but.. haha

Smart people learn by studying other people's tutorials before copying.
Average people do their own tutorial.
Stupid people copy tutorial blindly.

Superb? :)
