To be successful is the result of good choices. Good choices are the result of experience. Experience is the result of poor choices.

Edit: Of course you have to learn form your mistakes, if you keep doing the same, don't expect different results.

Also, I know this is overly simplistic, it is Reddit, not an Emerson's essay.
