Defining Experience

Posted on 27 June 2007 by DeanHunt

I always say that the best way to learn something is to make loads of mistakes. So imagine my delight when I recently read this story of a discussion between a reporter and a successful business man:
Sir, ” What is the secret of your success?” a reporter asked a successful business man.

“Two words.”

“And, Sir, what are they?”

“Right decisions.”

“And how do you make right decisions?”

“One word.”

“And, sir, What is that?”

“Experience. ”

“And how do you get Experience?”

“Two words”

“And, Sir, what are they?”

“Wrong decisions .”

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
