A few years after I finished skating, someone asked where my medals were. I'm like, 'In a suitcase somewhere.' Now they're nicely displayed in an ice rink, but medals don't really mean that much. It's the experience, the story of the skating, the love.

With the author

As an athlete, that's something I always take with me. You fall every day, whether it's in a job, or you miss something else, but you learn how to do it better next time. You learn it in sports. That's a life lesson.

Michelle Kwan

I don't really remember a time younger than 5 years old that I didn't have skates on because all I can remember is every day, tying up my skates and a big smile on my face, excited to go on the ice.

Michelle Kwan

Whatever you're fighting for, you go with full passion and love.

Michelle Kwan

In figure skating, you have four minutes to do your best. It's your time; you do your best.

Michelle Kwan

When I look at my own career, growing up, I was doing really well at age 11, but it was kind of isolating because back then, people weren't hanging out with me. My mom was always there. She had my back and was like, 'You keep focused. You gotta keep focused.' And I think those kinds of lessons were hard.

Michelle Kwan

As a kid, falling was embarrassing. As I got older, I got used to falling and picking myself back up. There's not a sense of failure. It's of disappointment. You train so hard to not make mistakes. When you do, you're learning from that. How do I improve? How do I get better for the next time? Through every failure, there's something to be learned.

Michelle Kwan

I would encourage people to participate in sports. You don't have to dream of being an Olympic or a professional athlete.

Michelle Kwan

To represent your country is an honor and a great experience.

Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.

Sacha Guitry

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Helen Keller

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

Carl Jung

Food is one part of the experience. And it has to be somewhere between 50 to 60 percent of the dining experience. But the rest counts as well: The mood, the atmosphere, the music, the feeling, the design, the harmony between what you have on the plate and what surrounds the plate.

Alain Ducasse

Judgment comes from experience - and experience comes from bad judgment.

Walter Wriston

There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply.

Josh Billings

Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.

Alphonse de Lamartine

And when you take something like the changing colour of autumn leaves and start to ask why, you're starting off on an intellectual journey which will take you beyond that moment of visual satisfaction, while robbing nothing from that experience.
