experience-succeed

Watching a reality program lately – ‘The Apprentice’, certain impressions came crashing at every scene; I see clearly now like it just rained. A great program I’ll recommend anytime, time consuming like every other serial program but this one is worth every moment. I have learnt a lot in a bit with images and scenes that have afforded me great acuity and new thought pattern. The eyes of my heart and understanding opened to certain facts, one of which makes up for the title of this article. Experience matters not just in literal words but with deep thoughts. Following through the program from season one, I still can’t get enough even at season six. One point came occurring at the final stage s of every season which gave every apprentice that was hired a relevant argument – their experiences , it is a strong point that gives an edge in business and in life.

Before I go any further, I like to define the concept ‘experience’ in this context. It is a series of events that makes for success, totally tied to the life of the person exploring the moment. it is about living in the moment you longed for, its a life full of activities, a life preparing you for greater shots, doing what you are doing now with great enthusiasm even when nobody is watching, it is about recording milestones you can identify as references in time to come. It is about writing your story with indelible marker or pen; it is your life today becoming an asset tomorrow. Our experiences are regarded as our life in motion, it is a form of training that cannot be compromised, it makes us versatile having different perception to issues of life, as such there is need to be mindful of the fact that it resides in every moment of our lives to enables us maximize them.

Experience is knowledge and of course knowledge is power. It is fine that we cannot experience it all given credence to the fact that one cannot be jack of all trade; however, a little knowledge of everything is needful. But then you can have a pattern with which you can design your life to align in life – vision. Seek relevant experiences that would place you on track, learn a bit of anything you come across because they would be useful tomorrow for sure. It is not a mistake or an error that you are going through whatever you are going through at the moment. Learn alongside; equip yourself for the tasks of tomorrow will definitely require greater effort than what you exerted today.

As a matter of fact it all lies in timing. What you do with your time today should be a strong reference tomorrow. However there are certain experiences that seem useless in time but useful in time to come. Like in Business and in life we learn different lessons which are useful in different cases, how you adapt to your call is up to how you maximized the opportunity to learn while going through certain things (experiences). Those lessons invariably help to form the person in which you become based on the fact that your experiences affect your thinking pattern.

In life we may not have control over what we go through sometimes as situations arise beyond control, how you handle them depends on your disposition or personality, which is also a product of accumulated experiences in life. That is why the aged are generally considered wise because of their experiences, it’s quite important to be under their tutelage at every opportunity, however with caution (smiles) if you know what I mean.

In stressing on outlines therefore, have a life pattern and learn along the path, situations may arise though, pay attention and pick every pieces, don’t fail to learn from them because lessons learnt are useful on your road map to success. Know that everything happens for a purpose, you may not know the reason today and may want to ask why, time will answer them for you, yours is to maximize every moment of your life, relish them as they fade away leaving you with experiences that matter towards success in business and life.

Enjoy living!
