"I asked my Dad what the most important thing in business was. He said, 'Good judgement- it allows you to make sound decisions.' How do you get good judgement? I asked. 'From experience' he replied. How do I get experience? I wondered. 'From making bad decisions', he smiled."
Roger Russel

Sometimes, it pays to buy some experience.
