An adult squatting sees farther than a child on top of a tree. Why is it that children fall forward but adults fall backward? Have you observed that? Don't think too hard. The answer is simple. Adults know better than children. Adults know that if they fall backward the damage will be minimal as compared to falling forward. There is actually an African proverb that says, 'when a child falls he looks forward. But when an elder falls he looks backward'. A child may have exuberance but experience is better than exuberance. That's why most employers choose experience over exuberance. And that's why you would prefer an experienced doctor to an exuberant new doctor. As the saying goes: 'faith that has not been tested cannot be trusted'. Experience always has something vital to teach but it can only teach those who avail themselves. Be available!
