People with refined taste probably eat plenty of bad food and learn from experience. There&#8217;s much to gain from failure. <br><br>If you don&#8217;t get swept along by others, sometimes take them as reference, and always choose in the direction where &#8220;you won&#8217;t regret it,&#8221; I think the degree of regret will be less. <br><br>I hope this becomes a quick note for you when judging things.
