[ Q & A ]

As noted to me recently by esteemed industry member Ted M, the hardest way to learn is through bitter experience. 

While it’s true the best way to learn, in conjunction with gaining expertise and seeking feedback, is through experience, there are sometimes cases where the experience should actually be avoided, if it might be seen as a bad experience coming out of it.

So, if the hard way to learn is through a bad experience, maybe an easier way to learn, and to avoid repeating mistakes made by others, is to develop the ability to ask insightful and relevant questions.
