do u think that the more life experience u have the better u will be at becoming a counsellor or psychiatrist ?? or do u think past experiences/ life experience can hold u back n get in the way ???
Whether you like it or not, I believe if we allows the past to hold us back then we've made that decision on our own. In the same way, we can speak to ourselves to make that firm decision to move forward.
Your experience gives you a different perspective as oppose to not having the experience at all. You are also able to sympathies with another persons. You can even provide information on your success and failure form your experiences. No matter how good or bad you think the situation is only the strong comes out on the other side to say they have survived.
