Words do not teach as well as experiences. It is life experiences that bring you your knowing. But when you hear words that resonates to the knowing that you have accumulated, then sometimes it’s easier for you to understand the meaning behind the words.
Experience, the name men give to their mistakes. - Oscar Wilde
If you made a mistake, and you learn from that mistake, you have learned an experience. If you made a mistake and didn't learn from that mistake, that is a mistake. And there is only one thing more painful than learning from experience, and that is not learning from experience.
Experiences - that is how we learn, how we grow stronger and wiser. Our lives are a series of experiences. The more experiences we have, the more interesting our lives are, and the more fully we lived. Sharing our experiences and learning from others' experiences, we enrich each other's lives.
Experience is one thing we cannot get for nothing. And sometimes, we pay a high price for our experiences. That is why they say experience is not always the kindest of teachers, but it is surely the best. The more we had to pay for the lesson, the more valuable the lesson is to us.
Since we are all different - different interests, paths, and lives, we all go through our own unique and challenging experiences. Hence, we should strive to learn from others' experiences. Learning from other people’s experience to do things does not make you a copycat. You can always apply your own personal touch or style to it.
Experience life in all possible ways. Don’t be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
