"It's good to learn from others, so you don't have to learn expensive lessons yourself"
I read this quote long ago, and I have been learning from others ever since
I know people irl who destroyed themselves/their families by gambling activities, there is this story of Mahabharta [1] where king Yudhisthira was led to ruins by gambling — so what saved you from doing stupid in gambling?
Learning lessons from people's past experiences is also a way to avoid problems. Hearing stories of people who put in their school fees, house rent or investment money just for the purpose or getting 2x their money but till lost it has always kept in track. It's a 50/50 possibility line and should never be taken into consideration as a life sustaining income generator.I read this quote long ago, and I have been learning from others ever since

Quote from: [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabha_Parva
The last two parts describe the one vice and addiction of the virtuous king Yudhishthira – gambling. Shakuni, encouraged by Duryodhana, mocks Yudhishthira and tempts him into a game of dice. Yudhishthira bets everything and loses the game, leading to the eventual exile of the Pandavas.
