“Experience is not what happens to a man”

“Experience is not what happens to a man”

“Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.”

“...each of us has an explanatory style... And our explanation is more important than the experience itself. In the words of Aldous Huxley, "Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
