TITLE - Mike Rowe: Judgment Versus Experience, What Matters More?
I liked this succinct, honest take on what 'experiences' are. Experience can be a nice name to give to our mistakes, a much nicer spin indeed. However, it is true not everyone will learn from mistakes, unless they do experience a little mental or emotional discomfort. As humans we try to learn from our mistakes. As children, if we touch something hot, we get burned and don't touch it again. As adults, if we end a bad relationship, and get burned, we are more cautious the next time around. We call these mistakes, not 'experiences'. There are, however, wonderful and positive things we 'experience' everyday that do shape who we are as individuals, and we do learn from them.

Mike Rowe: Judgment Versus Experience, What Matters More?
I like experience being a teacher for life but I dislike judgement on experiences chosen. Learning from mistakes is part of life's essence so if there is ever a need to experience something to go forth then so be it!

Not everyone learns from their 'experiences' or mistakes as Mike liked to call them. People learn from them in different ways- the best way to learn from them it to experience some sort of discomfort when you make the mistake. Like when a child touches a hot pan and burns themselves- they are most likely not going to do that again, yet a kid who climbs a tree, falls and breaks his arm is likely to not climb the tree again- or he will climb it again and just be more cautious as to not fall the next time. Adults react in the same way- If you were to ruin a meeting because of the way your presented your material you are mostly not going to give up on presenting but to tweak it and be more cautious of how you present the material next time.

Mike Rowe: Judgement Versus Experience, What matters more?
"Experience matters if you learn from it..." "Judgement comes from integrity and common sense..." These two quotes are what stuck out to me in this video. I agree completely with logic Mike Rowe has used. You do not have to experience everything in life in order to have an understanding of it. By watching others actions and using judgement and wisdom based decisions, you can save yourself a whole lot of "experiences" that probably will not benefit you in anyway, shape, or form. There are plenty of people in the work force who have experienced college an have no judgement or common sense to carry out certain tasks. They did not learn or take anything away from what they web through.

Mike Rowe: Judgment Versus Experience, What Matters More? Mike Rowe is one of my favorite television personalities. He says that judgement is more important than experience. I still think that both combined are important but mostly only if we are able to actually learn from our mistakes. Unfortunately though, that is becoming more of just an excuse for mistakes and no learning is coming from them.

I'm a big fan of Mike Rowe. He makes a solid point in this video. Experience means nothing if you do not learn from it. Some bad experience can be avoided if judgement is used properly. Many people may only consider the good things in their life as experiences, and label the bad as mistakes. In my opinion, they are one in the same if a lesson is learned from them.

I don't agree with this video. Experience is necessary although I understand that he is saying judgment is the final call. It was the experience which allowed him to judge that situation. If you didn't have some type of experience in that situation or a situation like it. How can you make a real judgment about it.

TITLE- Mike Rowe: Judgement Versus Experience, What Matters More?
Mike gives an honest, but realistic opinion of experience. Unfortunately in today’s society opinions mean nothing. An employee without experience in a field or an up to date resume will more than likely not get hired. Without experience one has no judgment, and business have no interest in taking a risk or taking the time to teach.

I would share this link with friends and colleagues. Thank you Professor. I truly enjoy watching Mike Rowe and he is right in this video. I feel that learning from your experiences is a part of life. making better judgements or choices is the key to becoming a better student, employee but most importantly person. I think most of these political figures or actors that make bad choices should know better than to make reoccurring mistakes or bad choices. Being someone with integrity and character are the very essence that makes a person likeable and appreciated.

My thoughts on the topic can be summarized best from the past Link #17 when I state, "I agree that judgment is more important than experience for the following reason: you can't really learn from experiences, unless you can judge the proper usefulness of their mistakes or successes! Therefore, it is judgment which makes learning possible and gives us the ability to make good decisions...a skill every successful business leader has."
Mike Rowe tends to agree with me on the topic or dare I say I agree with him! Experience and judgment both feed off each other. For example, without experience would there be anything to judge? However, if there is no absence of experience, I feel as if judgment is more important for this reason: in order for a person to learn from an experience they need sufficient judgment. To conclude, experience feeds judgment, which in turn feeds learning. While judgment is more important for learning, experience is more important for judgment. The answer to this question lies within the context of the question.

I never looked at our work experiences as a mistake, I looked at them for what they are, a learning experience. However, I do agree with Mike Rowe that not everyone learns from their experiences. We, as humans, are a creature of habit. We something that works well for us and we continue to do it that way, even it is incorrect, harmful, or even unethical.

I think it is hard to fully judge something if you haven't experienced it. Judging opens up the mind to think of many different aspects of what you are doing. But if I were to choose between the two, I would trust experience over judgement.

Not everyone learns from their mistakes, people sometimes have to repeat them several times to realize it's just not going to work. Everyone learns differently and it takes some people longer. We are all guilty of not learning from our mistakes such as procrastinating school work, not planning ahead of time, not being organized, eating something too hot, and the list goes on and on. We realize what were doing wrong and say "next time" and it happens all over again, were human.
