“Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him”
— Aldous Huxley

Simplified Meaning:
It’s not just about the things that happen to you in life, but how you react and learn from those things. For instance, if someone loses their job, they could feel sad and give up, or they could use the situation to find a new, even better job, maybe even learn new skills. Another example is in sports: if an athlete loses a game, they can either let it bring them down or see it as a chance to understand their mistakes and train harder. What matters is how you use and grow from what happens, rather than just passively experiencing things. Taking control of your responses and making the best out of situations helps you grow stronger and wiser.
