There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience.

Everyone wants to learn the same thing from painful situations: how to avoid repeating them.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

No, I'm no enemy to learning; it hurts not me.

Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.

I was taught that pain is bad.

You learned the concept 'pain' when you learned language.

I felt that if I shared the lessons that I learned - both the good ones and the bad ones - that I might make the climb a little less painful for other women.

Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning.

I learned early on in teaching how easy it is to hurt a young person and that's never my intention.
