We can learn to 22 the signs and avoid trouble by making the right choices, or we can learn the slow, hard way by 23 to run into problems from our wrong choices. So if we want a good life, we need to be a good student of life, and realize we can learn something 24 everybody. Some people even teach us how to live by their bad examples. We should learn from other 25 mistakes, since there’s simply not enough time for us to make all the mistakes 26 . Someone said, “I’ve learned silence from the talkative ( 健谈的 ) and kindness from the unkind.” So our different teachers can include 27 old people and young kids, friends and enemies.
