We all know that experiences always make us into wise persons in the world which increases the capability of analyzing and making out things very easily. I often hear the saying, “Experience is the best teacher” which, of course, I feel is 100% true in everyone’s life. And when I was pondering over the topic or a matter on which I can write my next blog post, a very special and close person to my heart suggested me to write something about the experiences I had in my life and what I learnt from them…I mean…the three best experiences. Rather than writing about the three best experiences in life, I felt why not to write something related about experiences itself and how they help us grow mentally in this journey of our life.
So, what exactly does the word ‘Experience’ mean? In simple words, we all know it’s just the knowledge that we have gained through practice or by learning certain things. Generally we value people by their experience, be it in any walks of life like work, studies, family or social life, in everything we give priority to experienced persons for carrying out a specific task or for seeking suggestion regarding a problem which requires a solution. Well….now how do we gain this experience or is it just only the good experiences which elevates us or it includes the bad experiences too?
When this question arose in my mind, I had a recap about my life and just thought over how the experiences (good as well as bad) I’ve gained in my life helped me in some way or the other and what are the lessons they’ve taught me in molding myself into a better individual in the family as well as society. Yes……right from the time I started learning A B C till the education I received today MBA………every experience gained through education has been a gift to increase my intellectual knowledge and use it in various different forms for my profession and so it is in each and every different fields of this temporary and adventurous life that we’ve been gifted by God on this earth.
The main domain of experience that has to be taken into account is not the good experiences but of course, the bad experiences, which are in reality the ones which are going to gain you the biggest and greatest wisdom. Yes…..when I was thinking deeply over the positive as well as negative experiences that I had gone through my life so far, and when looking at the present, the greatest achievements that I’ve got in my life are undoubtedly the result of the bad experiences that I had and the lessons that they taught me which helped me to mould myself and to aggrandize the standard of my life.
Yes my friends, the truth I realized recently and I wish to share with all of you is, when we go through bad times in our life, we all hate it and lament whatever we want. But, the bad experiences are the ones which will last for a aphoristic timespan but will surely just elevate you to some great heights with all of its lessons and valuable teaching about what really life is! Just look at any big or great leader or a person who has gained a mountainous fame all over the world……… all their life before that would be a real mess with a collection of innumerable bad trials and tribulations. All I wanted to declare through this post of mine is that, whatever you go through your life, everything is going to take you somewhere God already planned for a great future for you, because you are born for and with a purpose. And here especially I wanted to stress on the fact about the so-called ‘bad’ experiences in life for which you get depressed and start rebuking God, that they are actually the real elevators of your life. So, my final word is simply, “Experience and get exalted!!!” J
"If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances seem to be."
