Outline :

1)      Experience teacher a person how to live

2)      People learn every aspect of life by experience (a) young people (b) older people

3)      It is person himself who makes the lessons of experience pleasant or unpleasant.

            Experience, as everybody knows is the best teacher. It is direct personal participation or observation.it is also called as the totality of a person’s perceptions, feeling, and memories. Some experts said that experience is aparticular incident and feeling that a person has undergone. Experience may also be defined as the totality of characteristics, both past and present that make up the particular quality of a person, place or people. Its main aim is to teach every human being how to live in this world. And no body can teach this life as well as the experience can.

The parable of an experience is like a stern schoolmistress, who sets hard lessons, punishes severally who are inattentive and stupid, and changes very high fees. The experience teacher a life in a way as through as possible. And finally every one never forgets its lessons.

The worst situation is that a person sometimes learns its lessons too late. For example, a man who breaks all the rules of health in his youth by self indulgence and vice, learnt at last, when his health is wrecked for life the right way of living. In this regard, surely, too late to be of any use to him. It may be that human being should be glad to learn how to live the advice of the elders. But how many young people do not. They scoff at warnings and advice. But they go by their own ways. For instance, a person may forbid a child against playing with matches, but he never believes him until he scorches his hands. And finally, the bumt child dreads the fire.

A person may tell a boy not to meddle with stray dogs, but the fact will show that he turns a deaf ear till he gets a nasty bite from one. And the result is once bitten twice shay.  He has to learn from experience, and every one upon its lessons is not apt to forget.

In the same way older people have to learn for themselves, often by bitter experience. They learn from the old truth such as : honesty is the best policy, all is not gold that glitters, a rolling stone gathers no moss, he who touches pitch is defiled, no pains, no gains, waste not, want not, cut your coat according to your cloth, a fool and his money are soon parted, look before you leap and they way of transgressors is hard.

In such old proverbs much wisdom gained by experience has been stored. It is by suffering, a person learns patience, by facing danger a person learns courage, by sorrow he learns sympathy, and by mistake he learns wisdom.

But all lessons are not unpleasant. These all depend on every person. For one can easily learn that honesty pays in the long run, as the dishonesty does not.

The temperance maintains health, as the excess ruins body and soul. the kindness to other bring joy,as the selfishness breeds unhappiness. Hardworking brings success, and the idleness means failure. In short experience shapes every man what he is. And finally it is really on what the success of life depends.
