"There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply"
- Josh Billings
About this Quote
This quote by Josh Billings talks to the concept that experience is the best instructor, however it is also the most hard to apply. Experience is simple to learn since it is acquired through direct observation and participation. We can gain from our own experiences, as well as those of others. Nevertheless, applying the lessons gained from experience is much more hard. It needs us to take the knowledge we have gotten and utilize it to make decisions and take action. It is simple to learn from experience, however it takes a lot of effort and devotion to use it in our lives. We should want to take dangers and make mistakes in order to discover and grow. Ultimately, experience is invaluable, but it depends on us to make the most of it.
