EXPERIENCE

Experience comes from what we have done. Wisdom comes from what we have done badly. 

Theodore Levitt, Harvard Business School.

Experience is a comb that nature give us when we are bald. 

Chinese Proverb, Bits & Pieces, August 20, 1992, p. 5.

Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you. 

Aldous Huxley.

Experience is knowing a lot of things you shouldn't do.

Experience is a wonderful thing, it enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Two pals are sitting in a pub watching the eleven-o'clock news. A report comes on about a man threatening to jump from the 20th floor of a downtown building. One friend turns to the other and says, "I'll bet you ten bucks the guy doesn't jump." "It's a bet," agrees his buddy. A few minutes later, the man on the ledge jumps, so the loser hands his pal a $10 bill. "I can't take your money," his friend admits. "I saw him jump earlier on the six-o'clock news." "Me, too," said the other buddy. "But I didn't think he'd do it again!"
