The Only Teacher is Experience

"All life is an experiment. The more you experiments you make, the better" - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"Experience is the best teacher", people say. And I would say that it is the only teacher in true meaning of the word. You cannot be taught something without experiencing it.

It is impossible for you to understand the taste of a strawberry without eating it by yourself. It is impossible for you to know the joy of dream coming true unless actually your dream come true.

You can learn something by reading books, listening to other people talking about something. And it helpful. However, you need to experience it by yourself to fully get it. There is no other way. That's the ONLY way.

That's why you need to make experiments. Experiments cause experiences. Then, you can learn the experiences. Sometimes, they hurt a bit. Sometimes, they hurt a lot. It doesn't matter so much compare to the value you get out of those experiences.
