Explanation
記取過去的經驗教訓，可作為今後行事的依據。戰國策˙趙策一：「臣觀成事，聞往古，天下之美同，臣主之權均之能美，未之有也。前事之不忘，後事之師。」唐˙陳子昂˙諫用刑書：「臣讀漢書至此，未嘗不為戾太子流涕也。古人云，前事之不忘，後事之師，伏願陛下念之。」 |
| 英文解釋 | Most wisdom is gained by experiencing different things (compared to acquiring knowledge through schooling or other means). |
| 英文造句 | A few years ago, I couldn’t even get behind the wheel without having panic attacks, but, with practice, I’m much calmer and can drive with no problems. Experience is the best teacher after all. |
