why do we fall?

so that we can learn to pick ourselves up. okay, i'm sorry. i just hadda say it.

anywho, the old cliché about learning more from a failure than a success seems to have a new study to back it up.

researchers found a much more rapid response from the brain when stimuli were shown which had previously led to errors. the brain seems to have a mechanism for flagging things that have caused it trouble in the past.

it's nice when science agrees with folk sayings.

anyway, some food for thought...
