Wisdom vs Experience
Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 8:47 am
This a a little tale as I have see some posts describing Ryzom as a Trial and Error game:
Experience: defined as leasons learned from doing something.
Eg Hit finger with a hammer, learn that it is painful to hit you finger with a hammer.
Wisdon: defined as learning from the experience of others or yourself.
Eg Watch you friend hit thier finger with a hammer, hear their screams, decide not to hit your own finger with a hammer.
Ok, if you the first to do something 'experience' maybe your only option, but its always worth checking that you are really the First. Someone else may have some wisdom that you can learn from.
In game and life for that fact, you can choose, experience vs wisdom!
If I gain the experience of the pain of the hammer blow, I would be wise not to do it again. You may want to try using the hammer differently, or not holding the nail with you hand.
The point of this is gain WISDOM.
Turn all you 'bad' experiences in to 'good' wisdom.
So to all who are struggling, look to the wise ..... they will stop you making the same mistakes they made .... they will make you life easier .... soon you will be as wise as they are. When this time comes you will have the opertunitues to get some experience of your own, which you can pass on to others as wisdom.
We all start with nothing.
We all learned what need to be done.
How we learned effects our view.
If we are told, the task appears easy.
Be wise!
armed with others wisdom, you are ready to tackle the world and the pain of your own experiences is less.
Summary.
Repeating the same thing that does work or hurts, will not eventually make it work.
Think before you act, ask others.
Wisdom is free, Experience costs.
