Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.

Like every aspect of cancer I've weathered thus far today's experience was not at all demoralizing expensive or humiliating. No it was just plain fun.

I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience otherwise why go for it? I have to change me and I have to learn things and I have to push me and my limits. By acting I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.

Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.

My father respected and admired my mother and was a person who was always standing by my side encouraging me to do more and believed in my capacity. So in that sense my own experience was very good in becoming an empowered woman. From early on I carried that strong message: 'You can do it.' So I never had any doubt that women can do a lot.

Experience teaches us that we do not always receive the blessings we ask for in prayer.

Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web the denser the experience of time.

The experience gathered from books though often valuable is but the nature of learning whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom.

Our subjective experience of time is highly variable. We all know that days can pass like weeks and months can feel like years and that the opposite can be just as true: A month or year can zoom by in what feels like no time at all.

Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go but without the discipline of real life they remain of the nature of theory only.
