One ship sails East,
And another West, By the self-same winds that blow, Tis the set of the sails And not the gales, That tells the way we go.

There are all different ways of learning and growing. There are amazing works by brilliant people available to us at any time. And we can gain so much from the words of our fellow man. But where did they get these insights? At some point, the knowledge has to be experienced to be understood. And when it is understood, then it can be expressed. We all know what lessons we have learned from our experiences. And this is a big part of why we're here - to experience life, to learn and to grow.
