Things can go wrong, anytime, anywhere and in any context. We use different adjectives to identify such situations. Mainly these adjectives reflect the magnitude of the impact the situation has on us. We refer them as a mess, a blunder, screw-up and in worst cases a catastrophe. Obviously, prevention is always good. But most of the times we cannot foresee it and we are caught off-guarded.
When reaction is the only option left, how best we react to adversities is directly related to our maturity and our wisdom. Our wisdom, maturity of thoughts and past experiences, take us one level above the adverse situation, helps us establishing correlations and take appropriate actions. It brings us to familiar path and exerts confidence with in us. Mostly our action bring us fruit and if we fail, they add on to our list of experiences.
What gives that wisdom? What brings in that maturity of thought? What shall we do to gain experiences in life?
Well the answer is simple to say but difficult to execute. Close the TV, get out of house and do that what you have never done in past. You read it right, all we need to do is to come out of our self-defined cacoon and do something different from our routine lives and gain more experience in life.
The more risks we take, the more we travel through the unbeaten path, the more we accost different situations in life, more we get used to of the unknown and gain confidence to take up unforeseen.
A soldier is subjected to bombs and firing so many times during the training when he goes to the battlefield he doesn't panic. We need not subject ourselves to bombs and gunfire to accumulate that wisdom. All we need is to make everyday a different day than yesterday.
