You may have heard that EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER and that you have to burn to learn. Throughout life’s journey, there would be many lessons to be learn, whether you recognize the lessons and understand and interpret them accurately is solely up to you. But I say to you, you do not have to burn to learn. You can learn from other people’s situations and circumstances. You do not have to go through it, to learn from it.
It’s like seeing someone being burnt badly after having their hand held over open flame. You have seen the results of such an action. Why the hell would you want to experience it. Isn’t seeing enough a reason for you to want to avoid the same fate? Be wise people. Wake up and smell the coffee.
I am not saying that you would not have your own mistakes to make but why not avoid some by learning from others? Why not keep that mistake level to a minimum? I know that COMMON SENSE is not that common but for those of you that are fortunate to possess such a trait why not exercise it?
It can be argued that in some instances first hand experiences are better than second hand. These are the experience like going through puberty that cannot be avoided. These are good. You can learn from others that may have gone through it before but only through experience would you be able to fully grasp what actually happens to your body. In this case experience is the best teacher.
I am going to say to you, if burn to learn you must then burn with a purpose. Learn from the fire and flames. Let the lessons guide you accordingly. Do not be a repeater of the burn to learn syndrome. Let experiences, both yours and others, be a great teacher. Let is be so great that you may not repeat your mistakes again. Let it be so great that you do not have to repeat somebody else’s mistake.
Experience. Interpret. Understand. Learn.
