After 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.
