Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

One should learn from one's mistakes. Always. Try and do the hardest to learn from one's mistakes.

I was cracking my head to look for this saying. I had the meaning in my mind, but somehow, try as hard as I did, the complete saying did not materialized. In the end, I had to rely on the powerful tool of Google to get my 'Yeah' moment.

The meaning of this saying is simple and straightforward enough for anyone to understand. You are a fool if you cannot learn from your mistakes and experiences. This thought had been lingering in my mind for a few days now. The feeling of me being a complete fool, being fooled twice into making the same mistake.

I will not wallow in self-pity. I do not deserve that. It has all been brought unto myself, by myself. Perhaps my oversight? It might be due to my short-sightedness. Then again, it might have been only due to greed, impatience and voraciousness and nothing more. What ever it is, I am now in a rut that I tried so hard to bury but just failed.

And so, the conclusion that I can make is only but I am a fool, stuck in a rut, trying hard to dig herself out, but ending up suffocating herself with even more.

So apt. I just realized that this post will go under April. I guess this makes me the April's Fool, too.
