“Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions.” Rita Mae Brown“Fill your life with experiences. Not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.” Anonymous

I work with young people in political campaigns often. They have more information that is relevant to the world we currently live in than we do. Our experience is relevant, sure, and they do discount it sometimes when they would be better off to heed it, but we have a lot more to learn from them than the other way around. Of course, I’m talking about dedicated young Democrats who obviously are smarter than the average person.

“Live and learn” is good advice, not something that happens automatically.

Maybe not wiser, but more experienced.
