There's a story about two elk hunters who were flown into a remote valley in Alaska.

By the end of the hunt, they had four elk to bring home. When their pilot

returned to take them out of the valley, the pilot saw the four elk and said, here's a problem.

The plane can only carry two elk. The hunters were outraged. They said, listen, we were here

just last year. The plane that carried us out was the same. The weather was the same, and we had

four elk then too. The pilot said, us out was the same. The weather was the same, and we had four elk,

then too. The pilot said, well, okay, I guess you guys know best then. So they loaded up the plane

with a four elk and the two hunters and the pilot and took off. The plane started climbing

out of the valley, but then it began to lose altitude. The engine sputtered, and it crashed.

As they stumbled from the wreckage,

one hunter asked the other if he knew where they were. He said, I don't know for sure, but I think we're about a mile from where we crashed last year. To air is human, surely.

But why do so many people make the same airs over and over again? Think about it.

Do you procrastinate over and over? Do you continue to spend too much money? Are you still eating

what you know you shouldn't? Do you keep dating the same kind of jerks? Are you constantly late?

My personal pet peeve? Are you regularly losing your phone or your keys or your earbuds? Get this. The third largest cause of death

in America are medical errors. After heart disease and cancer, the same mistakes the medical

community has been making for the last

50 to 100 years is nearly killing half a million people every year. It seems our brains don't learn

from past mistakes as much as we might hope. Educating people on bad spending patterns of the past

does not prevent them actually from doing it over again.
