Experience is brutal. It gives you the test first. Then the lesson. You launch and fail. Then you learn why. You post and get ignored. Then you learn what works. You build and hear crickets. Then you learn what people actually want. There's no shortcut around this. Nothing replaces experience. No mentor can do it for you. No amount of planning prevents it. You have to DO it. You have to LIVE it. I failed for years before I figured out what worked. Lost money on bad ideas. Built things nobody wanted. Wasted time on the wrong strategies. But every failure taught me something I couldn't learn any other way. That's how you get good. Not by avoiding mistakes. By making them faster and learning from them. The test comes first. The lesson comes after. That's the deal.
هنا يكمن جوهر النمو الحقيقي فالتجربة لا تستأذن أحد .. بل تختبر الشخص أولا ثم تهمس له بالدرس. ولهذا يجب علينا أن لا ننتظر الظروف المثالية للتعلّم بل يجب أن نغتنم كل اختبار كفرصة لصقل الفهم وتوسيع الأفق وتعزيز الحكمة. فكل تحدٍ مررنا به كان معلما متنكرا في هيئة موقف صعب ...
This resonates deeply with anyone who's actually built something. The hardest part isn't failing - it's having the humility to admit you don't know what you don't know until you try. Most people overplan because planning feels productive, but experience teaches that execution reveals truths no amount of research can uncover. The real competitive advantage isn't avoiding mistakes; it's shortening the feedback loop between making them and learning from them. Great reminder that the only way out is through.
A wise preacher once said it’s good to learn from experience but it is wise to learn from other people’s experiences not yours. Not everyone recovers from some experiences
Experience is the only process where you pay for the information before you receive it. That’s why the lesson sticks. Skin in the game rewires the mind in ways theory never will.
I want the certificate of experience.
The greatest teacher indeed;)!
It’s the kind of rhythm you stop fighting and start respecting. You show up, you miss, you adjust. Not because you enjoy the loop — but because you’ve seen what it builds. Judgment doesn’t come from theory. It comes from the quiet after the launch, when no one’s clapping and you still choose to learn.
Experience is something you get right after you needed it.

3dI was talking to a friend about this a couple of months back and what I'd like to add is that many people from their experiences, carry on with trauma and not the lessons they were supposed to learn from a particular experience. Many people don't know this but it's a grey area that most people don't even know exist. We also can learn from the experience of other people but more importantly asking the right questions when something has happened is very important to avoid setting oneself backward and it might be thought of as progress. So double check on that experience again and see if you did learn the lessons or you are just living out your traumas. They can be difficult to spot cause almost everyone lives the trauma of the experiences.
