Experience

Commentary by Peter Shepherd
Experience
“Experience is a cruel teacher, it gives the exam first and then the lesson.” ~ Unknown
Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping stones to greater experience. Perhaps someday you will be thankful for some temporary failure in a particular direction. When one door closes, another always opens.
“All truly wise thoughts have been thoughts already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.” ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
