A CHANCE GIVEN, EXPERIENCE ATTAINED!

I have often wondered what people actually mean when they talk about experience. Is it the number of times one has been exposed to a particular phenomenon? Is it the knowledge thus gathered?? Is it the skills one develops as a result of the monotony? Or it's something else? I leave that to you my friends to help me comprehend. But I think all are applicable in this case. This animal called experience has been a serious thing mostly considered before one is employed in almost every field. Footballers, Bankers, Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers etc are all familiar with this thing. It's often said that, experience is the best teacher or experience teaches best. Thus, the fact that one has spent some quality time in a particular field or has been exposed to same things all the time develops certain skills, abilities etc that a novice might lack. That I surmise is fairly logical a conclusion. Indeed, adherents of football would notice this in most of the near- to-retire players. Watch Pirlo, Xavi, Lampard  and so on. They actually learned the game as they grew. This is not based on the fact that, they are old in the game but have really acquired more accurate ways, better judgements and so on in the game. They do certain things with ease and do the unimaginable at times. They certainly are experienced. Some too have been in the game for quite sometime now. But have not improved after their first call up. We often vilify them for certain mistakes which we consider as for the newcomers/inexperienced ones. To some, we can say, the older the better but to others, the older the worst. Let's understand age can just be but a number. What again is experience? Give some people just a single chance and you would see it's not all about experience. Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini aka  el mudo - the mute one, a debutant in el classico, scored a hatrick . He was only 19 years and that was his first el classico. We had experienced players like Iker Casillas, Ronaldinho, Sergio Ramous, Eto, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol , Deco, Ronaldo, Cannavaro, Ruu Van Nistelroy, Roberto Carlos, Raul,  Robinho, Emilson, David Beckham etc. Barcalona was three goals down before Messi came in. At the end, he got a draw for his team making history. That was a debutant! We have young players too like Pogba, Hazard, DeGea, Courtois  etc who are making it big!  People have been denied opportunities because they lacked experience. Albeit, like Messi they could have performed excellently well. He was just given a chance and yelp, the four time  world footballer of the year winner began his superb career. Please help us get the experience you need by employing us. We have to start from somewhere. This is what I have  always opined, "experience is very essential, experience counts but if you know, you know".
You spending 10 years in a particular environment doesn't mean you are an expert. Some use their age in a particular field, to boast. You were born before me, you saw before me, you heard before me, you ate before me and so on. That is a fact and  I will always respect it as it is. "You have done it all, you have seen it all but you certainly do not know it all". Just get that. Let's endeavour to give everybody at least ,the benefit of the doubt  and give everybody a chance. More Messi's can emerge.
