Expirience is the best teacher?

Question

why many of us makes the same mistakes.......

Answer 1

'Mistakes' - Painful when they happen.
But years later...
A collection of mistakes
is what is called...
'Experience'

I remember reading the above quote many many years ago... but still fresh in memory b'cas I agree with it...
To experience it, is to know it yourself... not knowing it b'cas someone tells you it is so. Isn't there a difference between someone telling you that honey is sweet and you experiencing it yourself. As kids when we are told not to go near fire and if we do, it would hurt, we don't understand it. With all the natural kid's curiosity we go and try to touch a candle light, there, that moment we experience it! We get a lesson for life! Don't we?The next time if someone asks us to put our hand in fire... we would never do it... b'cas we had an experience.
Experience teaches us a lot, especially when what we experience is not very positive... but not to forget, that , 'not so positive' experience is what leads us to great victories in life!

Answer 2

I agree in that we all learn thru experiences we have in life. Some people it takes several times of the same experience before they get a lesson out of it. Some people learn the first time around, others a few times, and there are a few that never learn.

Answer 3

Experience can only be the best teacher if the "student" is paying attention !!!

Answer 4

Because it likes a pattern that we followed, change that pattern to avoid that mistake to happen again.

Answer 5

No it isn't.
The first thing they teach you in the infantry is that if someone is shooting at you, you get down.
You can't learn that by making the mistake.

Answer 6

it takes a big experience, a big reality check, to ultimately make us learn. it takes a few times for us to get the point, as ive come to learn

Answer 7

Perhaps we think more clearly as we get older?
