"Experience is the best teacher, if you're too dumb too learn any other way."

Too bad you can't learn by using the knowledge of others who have done it. You can learn, what they learned, the hard way; by repeating their mistakes.

Some things can only be learned by experience. Would you trust someone to work on your car that has only read books about cars? I certainly would not trust someone like this to rebuild a motor for my vehicle. Books and other methods of leaning can be more valuable, but it depends on the situation. If a person learns by experience, it doesn't make the person dumb.

I agree that experience is a great way to learn. I tried playing softball a couple years ago. I knew nothing about it. I just got out and started playing and now I'm pretty good at it.

A very apt statement in today's world where children will not learn from the mistakes of their parents or the mistakes made in the past as recorded in history.

I would say this:
"Experience is the ONLY teacher if you are between 15 - 25 years old".

Sometimes experience is the only way to learn regardless of intellect.
