Opinions are divided according to whether
difficult time in our life gives valuable lessons for the future. I agree that
most experience looked difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the
future for the two reasons. First, it helps to better deal with similar
difficult problems in the future than before. Second, lessons from difficult
experience are not to be ignored but to be remembered for a long time.
To begin with, challenging experience at
the time helps people to overcome similar problems easily in the future. In
general, people have faced lots of problems in society. At the first time when
people face the problem, it could be difficult to cope with the problem.
However, If people already have similar experience in the previous, It would be
easy for the people to overcome the situation. As an example, my friends could
be a good example. One of my friends found a job at a car company, when he
finished college. Actually, he was barely able to survive layoffs at the
workplace. When the country's economy went economic downturn, his company was
hit hard. Then substantial numbers of workers were laid off. Naturally, high
levels of credential and job experience was required to work at the company. At
first, he felt it was difficult to prepare all the credentials for job
security. However, those experiences helped him to cope with those kinds of
problems better in the future. He always kept a busy schedule enhancing his
competitiveness for job security although his coworkers didn't have interest of
that. To specific, whenever a difficult task came along, he was the first to
take it to perform better than other workers. Finally, he overcame his problems
about job security by the previous lessons.
Moreover, lessons from demanding experience
are more memorable than that from moderate experience. These days, we can
easily get invaluable lessons from lots of sources ranging from the Internet to
book stores. However, it is much more difficult for modern people to remember
all the lessons for the future. Moreover, people tend to remember the lessons
from demanding and challenging experience well because they get the lesson at
the expense of painful experience. As an example, a study conducted in Harvard
University shows that the lesson from painful and demanding experience are more
remembered among people than the lesson from plain experience. The study also
states that people who spent difficult and challenging childhood have more
chance to get success at society because they always remembered the lessons from
the experiences. In this regards, difficult experience become valuable lessons
for the future.
To sum up, I believe that experience looked
difficult at the time become invaluable lessons for the future because the
lessons help to deal with similar experience better and lessons from
challenging experience are more memorable and valuable in the future. |
