experience

definitely the experiences through the years and how they benefited or were overcome. you can have 25 years since your last "experience" or 25 "experiences" in the last year. its all in how they were delt with and what was learned from them ....

This is very true. Since I started driving Big Rigs 4 years ago I have experienced so many different things. Some good some Bad. But in a "normal" 9-5 job You may just get into sort of a Rut where it can seem pretty Boring. I like to try to get up every day and look for a new experience. There's a lot to see in this Big world and it doesn't have to cost a bunch of $$

For me it's what you do with the experience and your attitude. A girl here in Georgia comes to mind. She contracted a flesh-eating bacteria, spent weeks in a coma and had most of her limbs amputated. She says she is grateful because she is having an experience few people ever have.

I have to agree with all this.
