We all have those temptations. We all want to be crazy and do whatever we want. Anything we want, anything that we have been told not to do. We can’t always learn from other's mistakes, and sometimes have to make our own. This causes us to grow, but it is still better that we avoid them. People often say that they do these things so they can learn, and it will make them better people. This is just an excuse to do them. It is true, you learn from mistakes if you try, but this is not what you think of while making the mistake, it is something for afterwards. It is obvious that you have not gotten the point of the saying if it is your reason to make mistakes. In the end, the best person is one who learns the same lesson from other people, and avoids their mistakes.
Think about it. If one never makes mistakes, they don’t have those things to haunt them. If a person used to party and party, and they quit, there has been irreparable damage done. Even after they quit, it will haunt them possibly throughout their whole lives. Say this happens: it is ten years later. The person is a successful politician, and they decide to run to be a senator. Any pictures of their party days will surface, and their rep will be ruined. Or, let’s say that a guy meats his college party buddy. He has stopped partying, and has a wife and kids. The only problem is that his friend hasn’t. He is still out there, partying every day. His friend convinces him to go out, to a local night club. They get drunk, and he ends up cheating on his wife with some woman. This will ruin his life, his wife’s life, and most defiantly affect the kids. All this happened because he partied in college.
Now, on the flip side, what about his friend? The poor guy hasn’t quit partying since he was twenty. He is drinking nightly, smoking, and possibly doing other drugs. He has absolutely no future. Once his partying days are over, he will have even less than what he has now. He is running himself deeper into debt, and ruining his body. He regrets it and wants to change, but the party life is just too fun. One night, he is drunk and taking some girl he doesn’t know home. He is flying down the road to impress her. CRASH! He runs head on into a car because he ran a red light. He is fine, but the driver of the other vehicle is killed upon crash. He is facing years in prison, and even once he is out he cannot get a good job because of his background. Now, does all of this sound worth a few years of partying?
