That is the truest statement out there. Cannot recall, the educational mistakes I have made, in my life. I just do, find, that even in life/work(mainly), whatever mistakes I make, usually minor, it becomes embedded into my psyche, and I don't make that mistake, again.

For example, at work, I place milk orders, every other day. I'm still only 4 months into a promoted position, and one time, I didn't make the call to order, presumed, I wouldn't get an order; instead, I received the same large batch delivery that my previous order was. The delivery driver, 'helped' me out there, and just returned the cases I didn't really need. So come today's order, knowing that we won't be there, Monday or Tuesday, I knew right off the top of my head, to inform the customer service rep, that I wouldn't be in on Monday, and didn't need a delivery on Tuesday. ((and to make it all that more a 'learned lesson', the Business Manager happened to be there, when I made that phone call ))
