1. An understanding of what it feels like to get knocked around. It builds empathy and compassion and keeps you humble.
2. An understanding of what it feels like to win. Everyone deserves a couple of personal victories, and hopefully, if you’ve been knocked down once or twice before, you’ll remember to win gratefully and gracefully.
3. A sense of what it feels like to be worried about money. Then, maybe people wouldn’t make silly lists that prey on men’s insecurities but are really just filled with expensive stuff nobody needs (except duct tape…you always need duct tape).
