St. Louis Real Estate - Mortgage News - Wise Up

I had the chance to get my shoes shined last week and found more wisdom in the person shining my shoes than I do in most people I meet on a daily basis. Life has been hard to him but he also has finally learned from his mistakes. He says it took him the opportunity to be locked up for 7 years to learn he didn’t know it all. “I knew everything but my own ignorance” he said. “I was always with a pocket full of money and living for the moment. My decisions were always about me and what I wanted at that moment. How could I get satisfaction or how could I get enjoyment at that moment. Most of the time it was alcohol and women; it took me going to jail to learn what gives you pleasure gives you pain.”
