It is rightly said that it is the first few blows on the anvil of life that give the human weapon the mindset and temper that carry him through the life's battle and it is very important for us to understand the locution's worth. It means that the first few experiences of life build the mindset and temperament of a person which carry him through the other phases of life. We know that life gets harder as we grow up. So, the phrase wants to tell us that the type of things we learn and experience in our childhood builds our temperament and gives us the mental readiness to face the upcoming years of our life. The type of decisions we take in our life to overcome those hard years of life depend upon the kind of grooming we had in our childhood. We often see a person not taking bold decisions and try to adjust to what he has; it means he didn't get proper experience in his childhood and because of that he doesn't know how to overcome the problem he is facing. This, in turn, doesn't give him the mentality to solve his problems, but if a person has received proper experience in his childhood, he will have the mentality to fight and overcome his problems and will know the shortest and best technique to overcome his problems; which in turn gives him success and as the famous basketball legend Michael Jordan, who was axed from his high school basketball team, but he refused to give up on his dream, once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” It has been seen with many successful person's life too! Let it be with President Lincoln's life or Colonel Sanders's ( Founder of KFC) life. We fail to accept the fact that, Success goes to the Most Deserved Person! We need to understand the fact that, adversity in our life teaches us many important lessons of our life! It does not come to break us. Rather, it teaches us to survive in our tough times!! The great Indian scholar, strategist Chanakya once said, " Learn from others mistake!" Maybe, he wanted to tell us, how to make smart decisions, without wasting your time and other resources. Yes, we need to be smart to learn lots, within a short period to stay ahead from others, by remembering others failure stories and designing your innovative path crafted on your own life's "Experience Anvil" to reach your goal!
