The Irony Of Experience...

Experience is a double-edged sword - it can help and protect us from making painful mistakes, but it can also hold us back; a good past experience might push us forward, but a bad past experience can make us afraid of trying something new.

Each experience is unique, and whilst they can give us useful insights, they probably work best when we use them sparingly; sometimes, despite our past experiences, we just need to take a chance and try something new.

In other words, experience teaches us not to always rely on our experience (and I love the irony of that….)
