EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER KE?

"Experience isn't what gives wisdom. Experience is big data, and only a wise man can extract wisdom from it." — IAMPojo

You can go through the same experience repeatedly and still learn nothing from it. Experience is utterly useless to a fool. However, to a wise man, it becomes a tool for extracting wisdom and building designs.

Therefore, experience is X. It varies. Its usefulness depends on who is using it. In the hands of a fool, it is nothing. It only becomes valuable in the hands of the wise.

I suppose this is why people say an educated man can build an empire out of nothing. Well, that "nothing" is actually something depending on who he is. If education fulfills its purpose, then every educated man becomes a chakam (a wise man) who, through experience (whether his own or that of others), creates a template or design to reinvent his reality.

What you can do is based on who you are. Experience does not add wisdom. It is simply data. And data in its raw form is useless unless transformed through wisdom.

This is why two people can have the same experience, interpret it differently, and arrive at different outcomes which lead them down different paths.

Dearest reader, who you are determines whether experience will be useful or useless to you. Experience teaches you nothing unless you are wise enough to extract the wisdom within it. Otherwise, it becomes meaningless or Havel like Solomon puts.
