Today’s Words That Work: Empirical

Empirical (em-PIR-ih-kul) — from the Greek for “experienced” — means firsthand, gained by experiment or observation rather than by reasoning alone.

Example (as used by Robert Ringer today): “The empirical evidence derived from my own experience has convinced me that what I gain from moving fast far outweighs the losses I may incur as a result of too little planning.”
