"You cannot create experience. You must undergo it."
– Albert Camus
Albert Camus had an important insight about life when he said “you cannot create experience. You must undergo it.” Experience is integral to our growth and learning, and no amount of dreaming, imagining or believing can replace actually going through it. Learning how to apply things in a real-world context starts as mere theory until we experience it first-hand. One cannot design the path of their experience either; rather, they must remain open and willing to welcome whatever comes in their journey, be it lighthearted or difficult. Each of these moments allows us to understand life more deeply and thus makes us better equipped for whatever may come next. So stay curious, actively listen and take time to enjoy all the shades of life's experiences so that you have a wealth of knowledge to draw from.
