Like a Cat on the Stove-Lid: On Learning #3

Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon and the deeper it sinks into the mind.

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Good advice usually works best when preceded by a bad scare.

-Al Batt


Are you usually willing to take advice? Or do you seem to need to learn everything by your own experience? When are you most likely to take advice? Explain how you felt when your good advice was rejected by someone-and that person ran into trouble as a result.
