The seed of experience is bitter, but its fruit is always sweet. The school of life is always from the normal school. The school of life will give you lessons to learn. and it will only take a wise person to make use of it judiciously. In school, No matter how tough a teacher might be, he/she will never give us an exam without teaching us, but life doesn't care, life will give you an exam before you learn and those experiences we gained during those moments will bring out the best in us.
Most times life will deal with us and we began to ask, is life fair? In my thought, life will not always be fair, We have to face our battles before we can overcome them. There's no gold without a burning furnace, so we'll pass through some tough experiences in life for us to gain more knowledge.
There are some experiences we do learn from reading a book too and it is because those people who wrote the book have passed through some experiences before they were able to put what they learned into writing. So I'll say, experience is always the best teacher even when you learn the hard way. During this moment of experience, We don't have to blame ourselves for the mistake/failure we encountered, we just have to learn from it because we can't turn back the hands of a clock, moving on is the only option.
Years back, I passed through some experiences and I blamed myself for the mistake I made, but as time goes on, I stopped blaming myself, I used it as an opportunity to learn more. I will share just one of my experiences.
There was a time I bought some altcoins and I kept them in my wallet, waiting for it to moon. One thing to know about the majority of these coins is that when they increase, they will increase massively and when it decreases, it gonna drop drastically, but then I did what I did out of ignorance. In the process of keeping them in my wallet, one out of them mooned and I took my profit, but the next one was a bitter experience for me. Another coin mooned massively but I left it there, thinking it will keep on increasing, but it came to a day that the coin dropped drastically, (oops! you're thinking I'm greedy..lol), it all happened because I don't know more about it then, though I'm still learning till now.
I began to blame myself, I feel pained and I wish it never happened, I wish I had taken my profit at the right time, as a teenager then I cried out my eyes because the profit was huge... hehe, but ever since then, I have learned to know when to take my profit at the right time. Most time, I do share my experience with people in other not to make the same mistake. Everything in life needs experience, that is why we do see people asking for an experienced person whenever we are hunting for a job because they believe that someone who has experience is better than someone who doesn't.
