Does one’s experience help another endeavor?

Experience plays a vital role in one’s learning ability. But when one shares their prior experience, it helps correlate with another’s endeavors. When one shares their prior experiences, they have a strong one-on-one with others. When people have the same interest and needs, the experiences shared has more value. Utilizing experiences is an active way to keep people engaged. Sharing prior experiences helps align with an ideal way that most learners choose to learn. This allows for one to not force knowledge. Books may be helping in one understand the world, but when someone shares their experiences they gain a whole new perspective. Rousseau once stated, “Let the sensed be the only guide for the first workings of reason. No book but the world, no teaching but that if fact. The child who reads ceases to think, he only reads. He is acquiring words not knowledge” (Pg. 14). This emphasizes that books helps one to gain knowledge however sometimes it is not enough. For example, let’s say you decide to take a certain class. You read the class description, etc. You’ve probably learned a lot about what the class offers. Nevertheless when you ask one about the class (how was it, etc.) you get a better understanding of that class. This goes hand-to-hand with most situations. People’s experiences helps one understand the world a little better. Not everyone goes through everything in life therefore sharing helps a lot.
