13+ People Who Learned Something The Hard Way

There’s always an easy way and a hard way to learn something, but usually, somebody else had to experience the hard way for us to know the easy way. After all, you can learn on your own about the minimum distance needed to safely light fireworks, but it’s much easier to just ask the guy with no eyebrows.

Plus, those who learned the hard way are more likely to feel like their sacrifice wasn’t in vain if we manage to avoid the same mistakes they made.

At least, I hope that’s true, because these people have a lot of wisdom to give us now.

18. Always remember this important tip, folks: When you finish laying down sod, guard it with your life.
