I personally think that the only way for a person to grow is through experience. More experience you have, wiser you become and more ready to face adversity (the ultimate cause of the failure) in life.
Failure can also give great lessons to people but people often want to avoid failure. In order for you to reduce the chance of failing but to become wiser is to experience indirectly. I think that the most common ways are to watch television, to listen to others(talk in the radio), or to read. I’d like to choose reading because it can also help you THINK while reading. Reading in the eyes of the writer (whom may already have experienced what you have not have experienced yet and learned how to live wiser), the writer will be the mentor and you will eventually have a have better luck in your life.
I came across series of books published by DK publishing and I am going to start The Philosophy Book with the hope to become wiser after flipping over the last page. Please stay tuned.
