Experience is the best teacher is an old cliche but I agree with it. The most importance, and sometimes the hardest lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations. We cannot learn everything from a book.
Of course, learning from books in the formal educational setting is also valuable. It is in school that we learn the information we need to function in our society. We learn how to speak, write, and understand mathematical equations. This is all information that we need to live in our communities and earn a living.
Nevertheless, I think that the most important lessons can’t be taught. They have to be experienced. No one can teach us how to get along with others or how to have self-respect. As we grow from children into teenagers, no one can teach us how to deal with peer pressure. As we leave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no one can teach us how to fall in love and get married.
This should not stop us from looking for guidelines along the way. Teachers and parents are valuable sources of advice when we are young. As we enter into new stages in our lives, the advice we receive from them is very helpful because they have already had similar experiences. But experiencing our own triumphs and disasters is really the only way to learn how to deal with life.
