LESSONS LEARNED

"Experience may or may not be the best teacher, but it's certainly the hardest -- nowhere else do you get the test first, the lesson later." So goes the old saying. On the other hand, the lessons we learn the hard way tend to stay with us. What is the BIG lesson the world of work has taught you?
