Experience

We talked about the importance of experience and I’m going to add a few to it today.

Experience help us avoid mistake. Because we have been through a process before, such a process and it’s end result becomes predictable. We can tell from a mile how the end will be and naturally avoid it.

This is basically how our ancestors learned. Trial and error. The aid of communication helped transfer the knowledge gained through their experience to others who may not need to pass through the same experience to arrive at the final result.

This has helped preserve life and helped make us better people generally.

Experience can also make us skilled in a particular area. This reason is what makes parents send their children to school. To gain experience by doing and most importantly listening to and watching more experienced people. At the end of certain period of time, we will discover that certain skills has been acquired.

This can be applied even outside the classroom. People pick up skills everyday. Consciously and unconsciously and use them in life.

We generally learn from our experience and the experience of others. This is why we study; to gain experience.
