Each time you go to the class with a new idea and a new enthusiasm to do better than before if you have the passion to learn from your life experience. You come across new challenges and hurdles to overcome and you can find out easy solutions to them with a little effort using your mind and resources along with experience of the past.
When you try your solution practically you become more confident and satisfied in your field. So the life experience work as a propeller which drives you towards more successes.
I have a lot of life experiences that I can draw on mainly due to my advancing years! There are several factors that come into play, age has mellowed me and I tend to be less shocked by the things I see and hear. I can talk with authority (not as an expert) on many subjects and topics purely because I have experienced or have knowledge of them. I remember things from my past that my present day students would describe as "history"! All the things that my students find new and fascinating I have been experiencing all my life. I can reminisce about steam engines, tell them where I was when President John Kennedy was assasinated, describe the way we celebrated when England won the world cup, talk about "real life" issues such as my involvement in famine relief in Somalia and Ethiopia. There isn't a day that goes by without me being able to make some reference to something that I have been privileged to have experienced. Youngsters like to hear a story and I have been fortunate to have built up a "mental" library of tales that I can tell to brighten up a lesson or provide some variation into what can sometimes be one of the "duller" subjects. None of this is because I am highly intelligent or a great teacher, no it's because I'm an old man!!!!!!!
