The Power of Experience
XQ, known as experiential or creative intelligence, isn’t something you can learn in a book. No amount of education can replace the importance of experience.
What do you know better:
Something you have read in a book, or.
Something you have done?
Beyond knowledge gained from experience, experiential also has to do with a person's abilities as well as their mindsets all being shaped by experience.
My experiences are remembered through emotion, courtesy of bi-polar genetics.
Years ago I used to do pizza deliveries. I would gain experience about driving on a particular road during certain hours.
If I had a negative experience while driving a route I would get negative emotions about that road in the future.
It is an amusing concept to ponder about a person literally holding an emotional grudge about someone. If anyone ever gives me a negative emotion that feeling will return the next time I see them.
I realize now that those people aren’t the emotional problem. It is all in how I would be thinking about stuff.
I think many things in life are impacted by our emotions.
Our experiences can determine how we feel about all future similar experiences we will have. That is also the importance of experience.
It goes beyond the physical impact the activity has.
Think about it like building your tolerance to a particular emotion so that when you encounter it again you will emotionally react better.
Most emotions are the result of going “oh my goodness, something has changed!” Is something really a problem or do you just think it is?
When you feel emotions chemicals are being released into your body.
Most negative emotional reactions are from either too much of the emotional chemical or not being familiar with a particular one.
High intelligence is weird. I can ignore my emotions most of the time and when I feel them they feel really intense.
Perhaps if I took more time to feel them in smaller amounts it would build a tolerance up to feeling them at higher levels in the future.
Experience is the secret weapon which people often forget about.
Always be in the mood to try new things.
You never know in what other areas of life something might come in handy knowing how to do.
Experiences teach us skills that no college degree will.
Experiences are like the personality traits of you.
They are human capital credits. Credits which you never will know when they will come in handy.
We all remember learning a specific thing growing up. The reason why we remember it even as adults is that we have experience with it.
Experience is like photographic memory. You don’t learn by reading about how to bake a cake. You learn by doing it as much as you can. Baking is an experience dependent market.
Those skills matched with experience will turn someone into someone who will get repeat business.
Experience is how we raise our human capital. Think of it in terms of a career. The more experience you have the more the company will value you.
Learn experiences that add to your value as a person.
Never lose sight of the importance of experience.
More knowledge then a classroom setting and more valuable.
Simply taking a class won’t make you a better person.
Taking a class so you can learn how to have better experiences is what is important.
You are looking for a good contractor. Do you want the guy who has a piece of paper saying he went to school for it or do you want the guy who has constructed 20 other buildings?
Your brain is a beautiful thing if you take the time to learn to use it properly.
If you don’t know something, simply go out and try. What’s the worst that will happen?
A poorly done project holds the power for lifelong learning.
My philosophy is if you want to learn the right way to do something don’t start off by trying to learn all the wrong ways to do it.
Doing so will add more value to your understanding of why the right way is right.
You can see someone else trying it and see they are doing something wrong and tell them exactly why.
This leads to how experience can help improve people’s lives other than ourselves.
How do you know which ways you don’t like your hair being cut if you’ve only ever tried one style? You learn your preferences through experiences.
Experience is the source code to content material.
Nobody wants to simply listen to someone explain something. No, they want to hear the person explain the experience they have with it.
Experiences will tell people how to do things as well as add to your human capital value.
