Human experience is the ultimate source and justification for all knowledge. Experience itself has accumulated in human memory and culture, gradually producing the methods of intelligence called "reason" and "science."

Human Experience

Definition Human Experience

Experience is a direct observation of or participation in events as a basis of Knowledge.
The fact or state of having been affected by or gained knowledge through direct observation or participation.
Practical knowledge, skill, or practice derived from direct observation of or participation in events or in a particular activity.

Experience versus Education

Obtaining a higher Education only proves you can succeed in academia, not in a real-world job situation. ... Work Experience can make you a good match for a particular job today, but without higher Education you may lack the skills that are important for advancement tomorrow.
Experience helps you learn about the everyday realities of working life and most importantly equips you with the soft skills needed to succeed at any organization. While a college degree might increase your peer base, Experience gives you access to a huge Network of people who have been there and done that.

Experience versus Knowledge

By definition, Knowledge is information and skills acquired through Experience and/or Education. Similarly, Experience is defined as the Knowledge or Skill acquired by a period of practical experience of something. ... Knowledge emphasizes theory and the obtainment of information and ideas.

Experience versus Wisdom

Wisdom is Knowledge through Experience, not age.
Of course, the two are correlated. Experience inherently comes with age—people who have lived longer have had more 'life experience. ' But wisdom isn't an umbrella term for higher intelligence, like a lot of people assume it is.
