Is it really better to learn from experience? Including bad ones?

it is always better to have a first-hand experience on good things..but for bad things..it's always better to have an indirect experience..you can learn lessons from other people indirectly..you don't necessarily need to experience it first-hand..sometimes we already know what will happen if we do something bad..but then we still choose to do it just because we want to experience the thrill of doing it..well think about it..do you think it is still enjoyable once you've hurt another person in the process including your family?

As they say "experience is the best teacher"...we should learn from our experience because it helps us to avoid doing the same mistakes. This helps us to grow maturely and wisely. It also strengthen us to face challenges.

Skills are best learned by experience. Just like cooking pasta. By experience, you'll know when it's "el dente". You learn when the consistency of the sauce is enough to coat the pasta well. Sadly, sometimes, it goes same with life. You learn things if you experience them yourselves. You learn and remember well because you know how it felt every second you're in that situation. True that you could have just stayed away from it so as not to get hurt but it seems that most of us would like to get hurt first before understanding and realizing too late that we should have just walked away from it.

We learn in many different ways and often the way we learn best is subject to our personalities. Some can learn from others, but some can only learn by doing and this often includes things they have been warned against. I had three children and each learned in a different fashion. One listened to others and did well in school, the next one learned something in this fashion but still had to experience many things for himself. The third one watched what the other two did and felt she was smarter then they were so made all of their mistakes but kept on trying to learn everything by doing it herself. (She had a very hard childhood)

i think yes, it's the most effective ones because by feeling it by our own. we will become deterrent and never repeat it again. If we use example, if i say, the track from city A to city B is really dangerous and long. For my friends who is street racers, i am sure he will be eager to try it. Thus, he fall down and he say, i should hear what friend say, i am too arrogant. next time i won't repeat it again.

AS they say "experience is the best teacher". And those bad experiences caused by disobedience are usually the one that taught us best the lessons in life and usually the ones that made us realize our mistakes and the lessons learned are the ones that remains in us for a lifetime.

ya according to me it's somewhat better to learn from experience even if that are bad ones. why this is so. i have heard a lot of people saying that it's better to learn from experience and that the best lessons in life are learned from experiences. but if those experiences are the result of obedience.

Wxperience is truly the best teacher. Even the bad experiences will teach us something. I am sure we would all like our experriences to be happy ones. That can't always be the vase. Experience will show us how to fail and succeed.

For me yes so that you never go for the past and go on smoothly with the present.

i think yes ......i think it is better to learn from experience and specially from bad experiences.....i was naughty in my childhood so i got very bad experiences but i have learned from them a lot....if someone tells u something good for u you wont obey his words you will do exactly opposite i think its the nature of some people..and it will give a lesson to them and they will remember this in whole life...i have left my childhood naughtyness and obeying the words of elders so not having any bad experience happy mylotting

I experiment with everything. I hear more opinions and then experience it. Each person doing things like this personally. The same thing may come out differently. Bad experiences are all to learn something

Good or bad we always learn from our own experience. Experience is the BEST TEACHER.

experience is the best teacher wether you pass or fail it is still best to take that experience. its not good to always learn positive things coz if that happens then no one can ever commit mistake and no one can ever learn, those people who told you negative about the things that you should be doing has undergone the bad experience and they are telling you that to help you, but its still your choice to continue and make your own bad experience, we'll never know that the bad experience that others are hoping maybe good to you. it is in bad experience that we learn more! it is where our strenght and faith is more developed!
