At
the start of every creative process – ideation; there is a seeming inspiration
guided by two major factors in the life of every inventor or entrepreneur. These
factors I like to call teachers go a long well to shape our thoughts, guide our
imaginative process and, if adhered to, launch us into the orbits of success.
These
teachers are thorough and ruthless in their teaching methods and class
management styles, so toy had better watch out for them!
You
see, in life, everyone is guided by a moral compass which if ignored can leave
us with bitter tastes in our mouths. This is where conscience comes in. also, experience
they say is the best teacher and anyone wishing to go far in life, must be
willing to spending sometime at the foot of “Mother” experience, tapping richly
from her endless repository of knowledge.
So
here we go!
Conscience
According
to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, conscience is the part of the mind that
makes you aware of your actions as being either morally right or wrong; a
feeling that something you have done is morally wrong.
Now
I so much love the Merriam-Webster dictionary because of its ability to help me
understand words, phrases and sentences properly. Conscience is a faculty, power or principle
enjoining good acts. It is that part of the superego in psychoanalysis that
transmits commands and admonitions to the ego
On
Conscience, Chris Okpalaojioma writes
"The
voice within; innate
Caution
us when we do wrong
To
us, it relates
Tries
to keep us on the right track, no matter how long
A
tiny, little voice
More
like our inner god
Please
God, it will rejoice
Reprimands
against all odds
It
pricks
Like
a teacher, it flogs
Slaps
and kicks
Even
while as small as a frog.
Sadly,
we all have it
But,
most of us never listens to it
The
world will be a better place If only we all give our conscience a chance".
Conscience
itself promotes morality and keeps us on the path of righteousness. Conscience
is a conducio sine qua non to living right.
When
you are deaf to your Conscience, then you are dead in life.
Experience
Those
who want to be successful must also learn from those who have been successful. The
classroom doesn't hold all the knowledge needed for growth and development;
hence it's confinement within a space.
Experience
equals empirical knowledge while theories remain. Books contain results from
people's shared experiences; therefore read and be experienced.
Again
see what my Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines experience to mean; the
process of doing and seeing things and of having things happen to you. It is a
direct observation of, or participation in events as a basis of knowledge.
Experience
connotes the fact or state of having been affected by, or gained knowledge
through direct observation or participation. It is the practical knowledge,
skill or practice derived from direct observation of, or participation in
events or in a particular activity. Skill can be acquired through a consistent applicant
of time and effort. This is a direct experience gathering.
On
the other hand, reading biographies and other current trends about the person
or people you want be like; carefully observing happenstances around you further
equips you with knowledge that no classroom can transfer to you. This is the
essence of socialization as tool for preserving and transferring knowledge.
Experience
is the best teacher, but if it isn't shared, knowledge can't be bequeathed. Be
happy with the man willing to share his experience with you than he who would
give you money. Gather Experience, Learn from Experience and be Experienced!
To
create the right value for people to appreciate, patronize and subscribe to,
there is a compelling need to understand the roles of conscience and
experience. A thorough understanding of these two would help us create a
paradise [successful adventure] rather than a warzone [the feeling of failure
and lack of accomplishment].
Listen
to your conscience, learn from experience, be experienced!

Good to know. Experience is an expert in modelling life but I always appreciate it when it comes from a recoverable state. Some personal life experiments can actually end life pursuits. So simply put lets learn from others experience for SAFETY.
ReplyDeleteWell put. Experience can come from practical encounter and through shared observations. The ability to let your conscience speak to you, helps in sieving untoward experiences from harming your life pursuits
