Live and learn. That's the recipe that has fed evolution from day one.

When challenged, even a single-cell organism can adapt and overcome. Humans can elevate this phenomenon to a higher level with their ability to learn from their experiences, though few actually bother to. Count me in! At this writing, I'm approaching my fifth book deadline with the same naivete that nearly doomed the first three, and literally obliterated the fourth, nearly taking my career along for good measure.
