“By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest.”

— Confucius

There's no single path to growing wiser — sometimes you reflect, sometimes you follow someone's lead, sometimes life just teaches you the hard way. All of it counts.
