Because every time we make a mistake, we eliminate one of the things that keep us from success. But all this doesnt mean that we sho
13、uld go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake.

In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.
