Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

I know filthy, the joke was that "where?" is what most people say when you mention Liechtenstein, and therefore may as well be its motto.
I guess its not much of a joke when you have to explain it though... |

Japan: premier source of addictive, useless electronics, you just can't live without (and that are, of course, falsified by China). |
