The young man climbed to the top of the mountain and sought out the wisest old sage in the world.  When he found him, he sat at his feet and asked a single question:  "How can I be a success at life and be happy?"

The wise man spoke two words : "Good judgment."

The young man then asked, "Where do I get this good judgment, 
oh wise man?"

The wise man spoke another word: "Experience."

The young man became impatient.  "Yes, but where do I get the experience to get the good judgment?"

The wise spoke one two more words:  "Bad judgment."
