Do you learn only from own experience?

Not much or any. But i like to have coffee most of the time

I am addicted to delicious foods. I may not have any health trouble yet, though I am curbing the addiction by eating them all in moderation. Besides, I avoid fatty foods now and remove the fatty part of the pork when I am eating one. Besides, I am now eating a balanced diet always - with veggies always.

We can learn a lot of other people's experiences, and especially of our own mistakes. If we look at the world in our days, so many have left the advice of our loving Creator and following their own will. We find a lot of wisdom in the Bible and it helps us to read it and study it. It has so many experiences of others, some are good examples, and some show what problems people had, when they didn't follow God's advice. Why not read the Bible daily? My favorite site is Jw.org.. This site talks about what couples and parents, teenagers and children and single people can learn by studying the Bible. There is lots of literature, videos, magazines and an online library, where one can search for answers. And for those who prefer another language, there is literature translated to about 800 languages - also many different sign languages.. Many of my friends have earlier had addictions that would have damaged their lives, but with God's help they got free from them. I am also working on to not develop any addictions, but thanks to God's wise directions, I also get help staying free from most problems.. I have to continue learning more about de-cluttering my home, as too many things take too much space and energy..

Yes, we can learn from our experiences but some people never do. We can also learn from the experiences of others and this can be less painful but some people don't. Hopefully we have become wiser and learn from our own experiences and the experiences of others and avoid a lot of pain. At this time I don't have any addictions but I am constantly fighting not to develop any.

you mean drinking too much tea is bad? how many would be too many in one day?

luckily, i am just addicted to my TV series and shows.

Personal experience is the best teacher according to me.

No, I have no addiction at all.

Addiction............. shopping I guess...

I had not learned from only experience in life. I had learned from the good teachers in my life and took their word to task because I believed what they said. It is not the only way to learn is by experience. Some words of theirs had prevented me from making a mistake. Addiction maybe one.

I didn't realize I had uric acid until I attempted to jog everyday in the morning. I realized I was eating a lot of fried corn or so many meat. Only last year I resorted to eating veggies and fruits seriously. But it hasn't really made me that committed to having a fully veggie meal yet..we realized of our addictions when it is too late.

I was addicted to soda for many years, but I only occasionally have a diet soda nowadays.

I think we can learn from others' experience as well. But sometimes we don't take it seriously until something happens to us.

I agree to you but not totally because you can't generalize people. You may think that people are not changing their lifestyle for the benefit of their own, making other's problems an example to change their life but not everyone. Some we're a;so thinking to change their lifestyle before encountering some issues. It's just that...changing is not an easy thing to do. It needs time and discipline. Just saying Mylotting is my new addiction

I do not have such addictions but I am addicted to myLot if you say. It is more enjoyable than most other websites. Yes addictions may damage your life they are never good in my opinion.

When they are healthy people tend to believe that illness happens to other people - not them. However, they soon realize that we are all vulnerable.

I hope I got no serious addictions, my friend. But I do have obsessions about cleaning and completing my tasks. And yes, most of the time we do see something in our life, try to learn from it, but actually fail to learn from it. It's in basic human nature, my friend. (*_*)/";
