EXPERIENCE | Chapter 2

The King Melted His Crown To Get The Gold by Larry “Bubbananda” Andrews

Money Experience

When a person with experience
Meets a person with money
When they part
The person with experience
Will have the money
And the person that had money
Will have had an experience


Bubbananda says somebody said:

Experience is a tough school
But a fool will learn no other way

And someone else said:

A fool does not learn from experience
A smart person learns from experience
But a wise person learns from the experience of others


Experience can be a good teacher
But the cost per lesson can be very expensive


The trouble with experience is
You have to take the exam
Before you are taught the lesson


Experience is what you get
When you didn’t get what you wanted


Successes Minus Failures by Larry “Bubbananda” Andrews

The Experience of Failure

We learn more from failure
Than from success
Failure is an opportunity
To begin again more intelligently
Failure can be temporary
But giving up is permanent


Where Life Is Dreamed And Broken

Know this place
And be known by it
This place called Here
For Here is the place
Where dreams are fulfilled
And Life is broken
Here is the place
Of first time adventures
And second chances


Life Did Not Wait

Life did not wait
Until I was ready
It redirected my silent moment
And placed a magnetic stranger
Who pulled my love
While I was distracted
Then I travelled
An unexpected path
And created a new Life
