Day 351 of wisdom
“In times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy.”
J. Paul Getty
Experience as good, and as required in most endeavours in life could be the bane of growth and development. Experience is very important and necessary if one wants to grow in life, it is needed to sail through some situations that may not be easy to face, and it can sometimes be very expensive. Experience is having gone through a way just to realize how short the distance is. We must consciously seek experience, it helps you know better the consequences of actions taken and not taken, and teaches you how to better your deeds.
In a period when things are changing very fast and new trends, events, technology, and innovation are taking over the world, we must not allow the experiences of the past deter us from growing into a better person, we must not be limited by what we know as it might have been faced out by the things which were not available when we knew them. We must employ flexibility in our daily activities and engagements, it will help us adapt quickly to the changing times and events, it will help us key more into the trends than be left behind.
The speed with which things change in our world today will demand us to do more than we should normally do if we want to get ahead, as Lewis Carroll would say "My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that." To keep up with the pace of change, we must continue to run, but to get ahead of the moment, to move forward you have to double your speed, but experience cannot allow you do so.
Do not despise acquiring experience neither should your experiences limit you from flowing with the tides of change. It is dangerous to remain rigid when flexibility is highly required, it is risky to relax when we should be doubling up. Life is a marathon not a sprint, there is no end to how much adaptation you must endure, there is no limit to the lessons we must learn, there is no end until it is over. Do not let your experiences limit your progress, but always upgrade your experience to enhance your growth.
