     Experience is simply this;

A preparation for some future state,

 However broad or narrow be its scope.

 

     We pass from grade to grade, as when in school —

Learning a little more each period

We spend on varied subjects in our own

Particular curriculum — trying

Our expertise from time to time,

(In tests designed to prove

The lessons we’ve absorbed),

As practices for what the future may

     Present to challenge us.

 

     Then we shall graduate,

(Or fail if we have not applied ourselves

With all due diligence),

Into the university of life;

Ready to face, (with what we know),

The known unknowns and unknown knowns

That will perplex our faculties and  stretch

     Our capabilities to cope.

 

Our futures we can dare to face once

We have learned from past experience.
