I was learning to drive a forklift. After I pulled a pallet and transported it to a place then put it down. I tried to back up. The first thing I did was not pressing on gas pedal. I tried to turn the wheel first. For in my mind, I kept thinking that it's different with forklift when it comes to turning comparing to a regular automobile. The instructor immediately stopped me and asked why I turned the wheel first when I have no idea which way was my wheel turned to. I suddenly realized what he meant. We have to try to move the forklift first, to feel which way my back tire was turning towards. Then, I can decide, how much turn I need to adjust. I felt it's a great lesson for life as well.
I can't really say what's the lesson for life yet. But I will record here, for later elaboration.
