Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted .

Until you actually experience something, you just don’t know.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.

An experience only becomes valuable and useful once you’ve transformed it into a GAIN.

Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.

Experience is a wonderful teacher, but one whose lessons come too late.

Experience is not worth the getting. It's not a thing that happens pleasantly to a passive you — it's a wall that an active you runs up against.

Experience is what you get while looking for something else.

You can't create experience, you undergo it.

Experience takes time and calls for patience.

...you can only value something if you've experienced it.

Experience is not what happens to you;
it's what you do with what happens to you.

Experiences were what you got when you couldn’t get what you wanted.

Experience comes from what you do in life, not from what you do in a job. You don’t need a job to get experience.
