I mean yeah, this is very personal to me because my environment and inherent convictions have steered me away from a lot of really bad outcomes, so the little trials I overcome have bigger lessons. I was generally taught things like don't fall into substance abuse, don't get a girl pregnant unless you intend to marry her, and even then don't until you're both graduated and employed, eat healthy and enjoy the outdoors, and so on. I learned to be communist by many experiences that showed capitalism was wrong, if I just skipped to the end my convictions would be weaker. I learned to be outgoing by gathering up my courage and doing it, so hearing to just do it would not really achieve anything. After all, if I wasn't ready to accept failure and knew some people would be receptive, I wouldn't have the courage to accept later rejections or successes as the inevitable outcome of putting myself out there. If I tried to skip to the end of the worst period of my life back in the day, I wouldn't really get anywhere because it was other people's actions along with time numbing the pain and my own growth that led out, I couldn't just give myself the last couple days early, it doesn't make sense. But I learned a lot about my own strength by enduring it.
