LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS (PT 1)

If you have ever looked for a job,you will
discover that all the position you ever wanted
required past experience. But experience is acquired
through making bad decisions.Experience is a tough
teacher, it gives you the test first and lesson later.
God looks for experienced people, That is to say
God helps experienced people.
Everyday you have the opportunity to record new
experience. With each page you gain more understanding. As you grow your note book of experiences you fill it with observation. The issues
is that few of us make the best use of notebooks. Some
of us leave our notebook closed,rarely going through
them again.We rarely reflect on them and gain greater
wisdom.Reflection turns into insight,so that we not
only live the experience, but learn from it.There are
people with a lot of knowledge but little understanding.
They have the means but they do not understand what
 to do with their knowledge.When 25years go by they don't gain 25years experience, they gain only one year
of experience 25times.
  To win in life,you must turn experience into wisdom.So slow down,glean overtime, not overnight. We all experience more than we understand
