A quote from Berthold Auerbach, a German Jewish poet and author of the late 1800's ... "Years teach us more than books."
Hard learning comes from life, years of life good and bad, easy and difficult, but always right there in the moment. Schools and universities may prepare us but it is life that is the greatest professor for us all ... that is the only way to think about our day to day experiences. Each experience is an education in and of itself, whether they be about ourselves, our families, our faith, our friends, our interests, our hopes or dreams.
Experiences can be wonderful or devastating, but they create our core of memory and attitude. They are there for us to learn from, to build from and to shape our future ... there is hope in every experience, if the angle of viewing is just right.
