Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.
Dan Stanford
It’s not always the best to just get what you wished for.
Sometimes it is important to be denied, to fail, to make other experience than you would have expected.
Why see that as a problem? It’s awesome life experience, free and without any charge, comfortably delivered to you.

Being a huge gamer I like to compare life to gaming and when it comes to not getting what you wanted or failing this comparison works really well.
In a game when you get something that you did not want in the first place, you are happy either way for some new experience and try again. You know that you have gotten better by trying and that every step you took gave you precious experience points that enhanced your skills.
Therefore gamers learn the valuable lesson that progress does not necessarily mean getting exactly what you want. Bear that in mind and enjoy the ride 🙂

Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.

Don’t dwell in the past and think about your mistakes. This simple quote should remind you of what is important in life. Making stuff happen. Mistakes also happen, don’t worry too much.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Yeah I get it. It is nice and comfy at home right? Yup, it is. I like it at home too. But you won’t grow by browsing the web and relaxing. You grow as a person only through experience so you have to get up and get out!
Do sports, follow your interests, meet new people, just don’t think about your last week like it did not matter. Life is way too awesome to sit around and relax. In the end you wont remember those days when you “slept really long” or “relaxed the whole day”. Think about it. Or better: Don’t think about it, trust me, and GET OUT!

Learning is a key element in our entire life. Learning doesn’t end with school or university. It’s essential for gaining experinence, becoming open minded or getting a change of perspective. So don’t be afraid of using any possiblity to try new things. It may be much easier to stick with the familiar but it surely doesn’t lead to a life wich can be called “fully lived”.
So get out there, travel, try something new, learn….

The real life cannot wait. Life is always now and when you loose out on it, you loose out on it now.

It’s good to work hard but remember what you are working for. You don’t want to miss out on the great moments of your life because you were busy working.

Let me tell you a little story.
When I was about ten years old my mum wanted me to go to a course where I should learn to use a keyboard with ten fingers efficiently. Because, well, it was useful at that time and it should be such an effective system. I refused and said that I had done it several years without this system and I would be fine. She on the other hand attended and after completing the course, she came back to show me how great it worked and to prove me wrong. Without surprise I could write not only a lot faster, but without making as many mistakes as she did. Why was that? Not because the course was bad, not even because the system was bad. Just because she had good theoretical information with little practice and I had basically no theoretical knowledge whatsoever but loads of practical infield experience. I learned typing by trial-and-error, I learned it by chatting, by surfing the web and by writing articles. That is why it felt easy to me, it felt natural. My mother, on the other hand, had her mind in the way. The mind hat to control the body, it had to “tell” the hands what they had to do, while my hands knew it for themselves.
