Lake Berryessa in Northern California's Napa County has a unique drainage system. If it fills up too much, the excess water disappears into a huge overflow called the "Morning Glory Spillway", but local residents call it the "Glory Hole". The whole thing is a bit reminiscent of an XXL version of the drain as we know it from the bathtub. It is very rare for Lake Berryessa to be overflowing in drought-stricken California. The last time it was almost a decade ago. Since then, the 21 meter wide spillway has been dry. A record amount of rain since the beginning of the year has now changed that. The 60 meter deep shaft was fatal to a 1997-year-old resident in 41. She swam too close to the Morning Glory Spillway and got sucked into it. According to eyewitnesses, she stayed on the edge of the spillway for about 20 minutes before she was torn down and drowned.
So, I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain. I found that to be true in my life. You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.
