Abstract
There are many valid theories that involve experiences, but none have the unique breadth and scope of the one presented here. The theory calls for a desired paradigm shift regarding areas such as adversity, attitude, communication and arguing, risk-taking, and human relations. Last, experiences happen to all humans, and how one uses them depends on the experiencer. A purpose of this theory is to help the reader squeeze as much as possible from his/her experiences; it can be viewed as an "experience learning manual," a vade mecum on experiences and their versatility. Also, original ideas that offer new ways of looking at phenomena can provide a new and often important perspective from which the reader may benefit. This paper seeks to provide the reader with a new approach to experiences, an approach of veneration and awareness of the advantages of the employment of experiences. Through my own experiences I have come to the conclusion that this theory is necessary, because the value and wealth of experiences are often forgotten, and such a simple tool can be used to explain a few of life's many conundrums. Most importantly, I feel the need for the desired paradigm shifts that this theory calls for. In this difficult world of self-sufficiency a self-support system must be employed at times, and this theory lends such a helping hand. Not only does it lend a helping hand, it provides a new way to look at the world and the simple things that happen to us all each day.
