You’re definitely right!!
Why go through the game with just our experiences, when we can use others who have gone through it to get ahead

Karl Pillemer said this on the elderly:
“Older people are the most credible experts we have on how to live happy and fulfilled lives during hard times.
They have experienced extraordinary historical events that tested their limits – and they have learned how to cope with them, to survive and to thrive.
They have also been through the kinds of personal challenges and tragedies that younger people lie awake at night worrying about: loss of parents and spouses, even children; the ups and downs of marriage, bad jobs and unemployment.
And they have come through them, and often are happier than younger people, as research shows us. What better source of advice for living for the rest of us?”

It makes me think of this quote:
"Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will."—Suzy Kassem
It shows how powerful the fear of failure is.
It also shows that many people don’t get as far as failure killing their dream. They stop at the fear of failure. They give up before they even start. They kill their idea without giving it a fighting chance.

I guess when it comes down to it there’s never enough time spent with loved ones, but I’m sure it hurts particularly more when one realizes there was a huge gap of effort that they could’ve made
That’s last sentence is the truth!
