Do you find people learn from those experiences where their refusal to move/change cost them and they're more willing to consider being less stuck in their ways in the future or is it always someone else's fault/no one could have seen it coming/anyone that did see it coming were just lucky that it randomly by stupid dumb luck happened to work out that way? :D
It depends a bit. Often we fall back into the habit of whatever new thing is benefiting us or, forgetting the cost of not changing in the past. However, if we have people who remind us of our mistakes, it can help us remember those costs. For example, I have a wife.
LoL XD
I suppose if we're the type that's prone to conveniently forget about the time that we failed trying the exact same thing we're about to try now hoping for a somehow different result because we're somehow "better" and "more educated" then someone needs to remind us? XD
