The Teacher Called Experience

The teacher we call experience comes to class on one of two guises: personal or second-hand. It is personal when a person is directly impacted. It is second-hand when personal experience is shared with others.

Conventional wisdom privileges personal over second-hand experience, given its forceful impression upon the mind of the subject. However, second-hand experience serves to speed up the learning curve, saving one the trouble of repeating the mistakes of others.

This book will show students what exactly lies ahead.
