EXPERIENCE: THE BEST TEACHER
"Experience is the best teacher", this is a parlance that has kept many people in check. Believe me or not, this parlance is always used in the negative and not positive. When someone tells you that experience is the best teacher, most times it is associated to you making mistakes before you learn, and not you getting it right most times.
People can actually argue it that it can be in the positive too, but in this part of the country and as believed by many, it is associated to mistakes that you make. But wait! Have you ever asked yourself this simple question? Must you make a mistake before you learn? Can't you learn without making a mistake? Or must other people make mistakes before you learn?
I have seen that because of this, many people keep making mistakes and claiming that they are actually learning, but will you keep making mistakes before you learn, must you have bruises before your life become straightened?
If you still live the kind of life that depends on people's mistake before learning then, you need to be checked. I am not saying that you won't or cannot learn from your mistakes or someone else's mistakes, but out of all the mistakes you have seen and heard about, can you take stock of the ones you have actually learned from?
Mistakes are inevitable, but can be managed and handled with care so that it does not repeat itself over and over again, because when you keep on making the same mistake; people begin to see you as an unrepentant failure, and this could actually keep you on the same spot without any noticeable progress in life.
Learn, Unlearn and Relearn so that you can be relevant in life, grow after a mistake so that you can be an experience others would talk about. Note that mistakes are inevitable.
