At that time , I was about 8 year old and as other kids I used to try follow my father . One day , I found one mini lamp and  wire. I tried to connect open wire in Electric socked in the hope of lighting the lamp.  As soon as I connected the wire I had a shock which pushed me on ground.  I was lucky enough to survive from there.  This was a bad incident for me, but gave me a good learning.  Though I got a bad  shock, I didn’t stop using electric equipment. Rather I learnt to handle them with caution.

This is very common way of our life. When we meet bad incidents, we learn from them and apply this learning while dealing with similar situation in future. We change our style of working , but we don’t stop working. 

Later, when required to check power, I used to check with Phase tester. And don’t touch live wire or socket without protection.

After few years,  I was at my uncle’s home.  His light was not working and I offered help to fix this.  To check the I found a phase tester in home . I didn’t ask anyone, picked up the tester and inserted into the socket.  And …… got a electric shock .. The tester was faulty and leaking current on the other side.  Device which I was using for safety , didn’t protect me. Now what’s next. .. should I stop using all electric equipment’s and avoid touching any electric wire ? Nope .. I didn’t do that.  I learnt the lesson that protection also can go wrong. So better to double check. 

One of my friend has bad experience in business. He has very good technical knowledge and  he started his business with one partner, The partnership didn’t last for longer as partner cheated him badly. It was not a big loss of money . Later he made partnership with some more folks. And it didn’t work for him again. Now my friend is stopped believing anyone. He don’t want to make any partners. He being very sound technical person, several Good and honest people approached him for partnership. But he refused all of them , just because of past experience.  Some of our friends also tried to help him, but he is not ready to take any help. In a way , he locked himself in a castle. Where he is not allowing anyone to enter.

We might face multiple bad incidents in life. We can’t stop our life . We have to look for other positive things happened in life . we take all the good and bad learning , and collect them as our Experience.  This experience remains with us and help us in making good judgment.

I had few friends in my student life. Being friend, I was very open and honest with them as well.  But they just took advantage of my honesty and used me for their purpose.  I was deceived by them. This was a setback for me.  But I didn’t stop making friends.   In professional life as well, I made friends. Some of them back stabbed me , and grown up pushing me down. After these experience also, I don’t want to lock myself behind walls.  I have faith in life.  There might be something good coming for me … If I sit back behind walls, I might miss the opportunity. 

Experience is nothing but collection of good and bad learning. I don’t want bad experiences to rule my life. But I want to take risk for good experience. I just want to use my experience as my Best tool, to pick correct things for me.

Experience makes the person prefect.  I want to try good and bad experiences. Even if I don’t get perfect, I will be certainly better .
