Experience Is Nothing But A Bundle Of Follies

Our age grows but our wisdom does not grow with the age.The chief characteristic of folly is that it mistakes itself for wisdom. The wise man has his follies no less than a fool,but herein lies the difference the follies of the fool. The folly of the foolis known to all, but is hidden from himself,the folly of a wise man is known to himself,but hidden from the world.There is a foolish corner even in the brain of great persons.Only he is well experienced who mends his mistakes to see the mistakes of others.He is a wise father who knows his own child best not the children of others.One should be wiser after one bitter experience.If a man deceives you once,shame to him, if he deceives you, shame to you.Experience teaches fools and he is not great who learns after a lot of experience.

Very well said Sunil Kumar Mishra. Welcome to mylot. You are very right that we should learn from our mistakes and if do not learn from our mistakes, we do not get experience and do not become wise enough to face the oddities in life. Hope you have gained enough experience in your life and you are capable of facing any challenge in your life. All the best.
