Real wisdom is learning from other people's mistakes. To choose an action is to choose the consequences of that action. No one dies wishing they'd spent more time at the office. Behavior which is rewarded gets repeated. Knowledge is power, power is freedom, freedom is life.
Nothing exists save atoms and the void.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Do unto others as they have done unto you. Improvements in measurements and tools are the root of all progress. So high, so low, so many things to know.
