Experience is said to be the best teacher. In this statement, the psychologist is implying there are many factors that occur within the process of trying to gain knowledge through experience, which involves a hard, costly, and inconvenient way to gain knowledge. Through experience one learns through mistakes, which means one would have burnt his own fingers innumerable times before his eyes were opened to the truth. Empiricists are primarily those who learn from experience. However, there is a better way to learn than through experience, and that is through wisdom.
