EXPERIENCE: The best Teacher.

They say... "Experience" is the best teacher you could ever have, to learn from. It really teaches you so much. The point of time, when something positive or tragic happens in our lives, it has already taught us something but we dont reallise in the true sense what we've learnt but when we face a similar situation, we become aware of the same. I dont really remember where I read this quote long time ago. "In school we learn the lesson first and give the test but in real life situation, Experience gives you the test first and then gives the lesson"
Something similar happens in everyone's life from time to time. The concept of learning from experience has many flaws too. By the time our teacher Mr. Experience conducts an exam and gives you the lesson, you might get old and left with no room to bring it into practical what you've learnt. Nowdays they say, "Theres no time to learn from experience so learn from other's experience". What an insight !! Isnt that a possibility? This is the reason why people read, go through autobiographies, articles on one's life, philosophies etc. And in a way, its back to the same cycle; learning from lesson first and then getting ready for the real-time situation", which is exactly the opposite of what they say "Experience is the best teacher". This is all-time a debatable topic, with one school of thought advocating the fact that whatever you learn from your own experience never fades away from the memory chips of your brain. And all other mode of learning are stored in the temporary registry in the brain.

But then anyways, I would conclude this topic in favour of the fact that "Experice is the best teacher" becasue life is all about exploring. The more you explore the more you know. The more you try, the more you learn to explore eventually leading toward success. And no matter you fail again, again and yet again.. eventually you learn to survive. And someday, if once you've learnt, no matter how much time it has taken, you'll be an ultimate master in that. As I quoted before, lifes all about exploring no matter whatever the field may be. Its all about LIVING life morally and ethically in the right way !!!
