A short zen story

oopsAfter a long, hard climb up the mountain, the disciple finally found himself in front of his great teacher.  Bowing, he asked the question that was burning inside him:

‘Master, how am I to become wise?’ 

‘Good choices’ replied the teacher after a long pause.

‘But teacher how do I make good choices?’ 

‘From experience’ responded the teacher.

‘And how do I get experience?’

‘Bad choices’ answered the teacher.
