The significance of experience (even just pure thoughts and emotions associated with any experience) in altering one's brain and thereby the mind/mindset.
Further, another important fact is the subjectiveness of how the same experience produces different results (emotions and thoughts etc.) in different individuals and different level of learning and development.
"“How we experience the world affects us in more ways than we previously thought,” says Davidson, William James and Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry. “We’re finding that emotions and thoughts can alter neural pathways in the brain in relatively short amounts of time and even affect processes like gene expression and aging. Davidson says tapping into the role experience plays in mental health could help scientists and clinicians design better interventions to treat disorders such as anxiety and depression."
