I think Will Rogers had a similar idea, but he worded it more colorfully. “Some learn by reading, and some, a few, learn by observing. The rest of us have to piss on the electric fence ourselves.” Same idea. Ben Franklin said, “Experience is a dear teacher, but a fool will learn by no other.”

Great ideas span the decades.
