"Apprenez des erreurs des autres. Vous ne vivrez jamais assez longtemps pour toutes les faire vous-même."
— Groucho Marx

Simplified Meaning:
Observing others' errors can teach you important lessons without you having to go through the same problems. Imagine a friend who touches a hot stove and burns their hand. You see their pain and understand that touching the stove is dangerous, so you avoid it yourself. This way, you gain knowledge and avoid harm by simply paying attention to what happens to someone else. Applying this idea means if you see someone making a poor financial decision, like spending too much money and going into debt, you can choose to manage your money more wisely to avoid the same issue. By learning from the mistakes you witness, you can make better choices and improve your life without having to experience every mistake firsthand.
