Experience…

What would you say to your 18-year old self if you could go back in time (or in the future)? Most are probably over 18 that are reading this, so I will write with the aspect of going back in time. 

Most of us wish we had the knowledge we have now when we were eighteen. That time of life is when things start happening. You jump off the edge of the nest to spread your wings and fly. Your first flights may not be too far away, but they are still away from the safety of the nest.

It would be interesting to hear what you would say to yourself if you could go back in time to that year when you turned 18. Experience does amount to a lot of knowledge, which brings us to this week’s quote…

"Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him."  ~ Aldous Huxley

This was said to be on someone’s resume. It seems very true when you think about experience. Lots of things can happen to you, but if you don’t learn from it or do something with that “happening,” then is simply happened.

However, if you have something that happened to you, like when you were 18, and you did something with it, you have gained experience.
