<<People who have what they want are fond of telling people who do not have what they want that they really do not want what it is they do not have. Ogden Nash>>

That sounds like what I often tell my kids.

Of course, it is usually the product of having had it and realizing that it was not worth having in the first place. The corollary rule is that there are those who have already made a certain mistake and those who have yet to do so -- like owning BB stocks. The second corollary rule is that there are those whose mistakes have provided experience and those who are yet to experience their mistakes. The third corollary: there are those who can learn from others' mistakes and those who can only learn from making the mistakes themselves.

The price of experience is measured by the size of the mistake producing it.
