Personally I believe that's this is the best people really can do. Wisdom is learning from ones mistakes. Domino this is sharing their wisdom

It's is up to you to do whatever you feel is best with it.

My divorced friend can tell me that their marriage went terribly wrong. It doesn't mean that I should not marry either. Ask why, ask what went wrong and take that into consideration.

I'd rather have advice and feedback from personal experience than theoretical advice from someone who has not tried (and failed) at the subject
