One's experience is the best teacher. I learned many things from my life in the past, but sometimes another experience is very interesting. Life is very challenging. To know another life is so wonderful. We can learn the bad and the good side from it. The story is just like the story in a movie or TV' series. Some experiences make me strong to face this life. They give me advices, suggestions and spirit. Life is a lesson. A lesson that I must to think about. It motivates me all the time.

Hello coollday,
Greetings from India!
Life is, indeed very beautiful and the other day I was watching the TV when I saw this man without legs perform an amazing dance on television reality show. I was really shocked and it was amazing to see the happiness on his face. That was so inspiring for me.
From time to time I talk to my friends who have lots of stories to share about various things that make us more aware and more willing to fight it out through the rough times rather than cursing our fortune, which helps no one.

I don't know if we can really learn anything from other people's experiences. Sometimes we don't even learn something from our own...It's even harder when we haven't experienced something ourselves. However, it can be thought-provoking and helpful in some way I guess.

stories or witnessing first-hand the experiences of other people do have profound effects on us, as long as we keep our eyes, heart, and mind open to the wisdom being shown by these. personal experiences are similarly valuable and can serve to enhance what we know from other people's own experiences. these are the things that help us to keep going, motivate us like you said, coolladay, and inspire us to be better, wiser, and stronger as persons. you are right when you said that life is challenging. that is why we need to be open to learning from experiences, so we can move on to become better-equipped with the challenges that we have to face in our everyday lives. nice topic, coollady, ;).

Yes we learn a lot from people we meet.We learn good and bad things.When we know how a person has gone through a crisis, it gives us inspiration to know that if that person survived, then we can survive too. When we learn how a person has done good deeds to others, it motivates us to do good too
There are many kinds of challenges, and we might say that a persons trial is heavier that what we can handle..but i think we get the strength we need however tough or light the challenge is.
