"Experience is a
Strange Teacher"

Dear Top Secrets Subscriber,

We've all heard the phrase "experience is the best teacher." I'm not sure I agree. Our own personal experience is certainly a fast teacher (if I burn myself, I learn very quickly about the dangers of fire), but do I want my children to learn about it the same way?

Experience is also a memorable teacher, as the lessons we learn from our toughest experiences stay with us a long time. But the best teacher? I don't think so. Vernon Law once said, "experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward." Who likes to learn like that?

Take the Time to Learn from Others' Experiences

Learning from other people's experiences can also be very valuable. If I notice behavior in another person that seems to create favorable results, I can emulate that behavior. If I learn of situations where people have engaged in harmful behavior, I can avoid that behavior and make my own life better.

Also remember that time does not always equal experience. Some people claim to have many years of experience, when in fact, they really have only weeks or months worth of experience that they have repeated over and over again.

Look at the experiences of your life objectively. Determine which ones forged your character and made you a better person and which slowed you down and got you off track. Then focus on creating and repeating the most favorable experiences to build the life you want.
