Give at least one scenario ;)
so we kids learn from that experience! LOL



awww... don't! Maybe you'll find someone that will surely jive in type of music you want ;)
I came across a group of freshman back when I was in highschool. One of them complimented and asked where I got my shoes. I answered, but got irritated when she repeated a couple more times. One of her friends came up with a weak excuse of her having short-term memory problem. But they were too obvious, so I left and ignored them.

Losing my job.

About seven ago I lost a job. The incident resulted in losing many things (house, dog, health insurance), but I gained much more. I learned to appreciate poverty and depreciate the value of possessions. I learned to make myself indispensable to my new employer. I got sober. I spent my free time meditating, drinking tea, and reading. I gained more wisdom in the two years I was unemployed than I had in the 26 years preceding it.

Oh! Blessing in disguise! :) Do you believe in the saying "Everything happens for a reason?" and well you never know, it happened because it is directing you to something? (Don't ask me what it is...idk too LOL just keep meditating and hmm... you might know :p) and sometimes... when we lost the things that's important to us... that's when we realize it's worth. LOL this advices are all cliche... sorry XD

Everything does happen for a reason. Life operates on cause/effect relationships. I made many poor choices leading up to my termination. I have not been free from mistakes since that time, I am human, but I am much wiser. It didn't motivate me to move in a different direction; I was already heading this way, but it expedited the process to which I changed my profession and re-evaluated my religious practice. It is very easy to find yourself settling for a life that is unsatisfactory in the name of comfort and familiarity. Growth only comes from confrontation.

Oh yea! This is a good one. When people say to you when you have something yet to experience... that "It's best to experience it" so you'll know what to do next. BUT! You can know it, just by listening or reading or watching other's experience! It's like... caution caution.
Exactly humans have the same lifespan and the reason we're not still in a hunter gatherer society is because we built on each others knowledge. It's like Isaac Newton said "If I see further than others, it's because I stand on the shoulders of giants".

Why should I waste my life repeating a mistake others have made before me? It makes no sense and most of what you do has been done before you. What you want to do is make new mistakes that haven't been made before by transcending the old. That's how true progress is made.

the first time i ever monitored sound live i got owned. i thought balancing the sound would be similar to mixing tracks on a record. way wrong, i ended up drowning out the vocals and causing all this feedback. had to stop during the performance and go try and fix it, failed and someone else had too. luckily nobody paid to get in at the time, wouldve been way worse

at the time it was a very embarrassing situation, especially since i thought it would be easy to do

Experience is a good teacher not the best one because our lives are too short to experience everything we wants to experience ( mostly we will have to choose what's really important from choices we have ) so we have to learn right ways to do things who've more experience than us and ones who lived before us .

personally I use my imagination too always looking into future possibilities some might think it's not very reliable but I've used it for so long that it have become a very reliable way to experience things in my mind before something happens and choosing only the best ways to do things .

Everything in life tbh. Most people don't listen to others or make foolish mistakes, however through failing or whatever they learn not to do x action or how to handle a situation better. It can be cooking, raising a child, learning math, riding a bike, reading, etc. it has gotten better or improved with experience.

Mathematics: Any form of equation follows a general pattern of solutions. So having encountered some will most likely enable you to solve some.
You might think this is not real life, actually I use a lot of "SCRUM" in my if statements to validate loan lengths, customer changes and economy effect. So experience helps me in dealing with my calculations when I am creating a loan application software.

Love life: Some girl's attitudes can be countered before the relationship even starts, because "I've seen this before". Since there are over 3 billion girls in the world there are some that might surprise you. However your experience helps

Games: You can't compare some one who started liking FIFA on the latest one to someone who followed the game since its inception.

experience is the best teacher? (No lewd.)


I'm still thinking about it hahaha... so go first ;)
When I tried to make a girl happy by treating as if all the girls are the same, but instead I ended up making her sad. That's when I realized that experience has its own wisdom and I first need to experience how she is before I can give my judge down upon how she is.

I guess that was like an inception of experience because the moment itself was an experience.

What about you ? Did anyone ask you about your moment ?

:nefer:
