Mistakes are rampant in our lives. We know we shouldn’t make mistakes but somehow we ended up making more mistakes than the original plan. Almost all mistakes are unintentional. But what we need to do is to learn from those mistakes and try not to commit the same mistakes all over again.

Stu Ungar didn’t have much going for him in most areas of life. In fact, it could very well be argued that he was downright inept in most areas of existence. He also had a self destructive streak that manifest itself in heavy drug use and other behaviors. Ungar, however, had one great gift–he was a prodigy with a deck of cards. He would become one of the first superstars of poker before it became a fixture on ESPN, but wouldn’t live to enjoy the ‘boom’. Ungar would eventually be done in by his baser elements, and would be found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room in November, 1988.
