Wisdom is better than silver and gold.

Che Noir

Immortal Technique
Learning from experience, however, can be complicated. It can be much more difficult to learn from success than from failure. If we fail, we think carefully about the precise cause. Success can indiscriminately reinforce all our prior actions.
Narayana Murthy
