People acquire knowledge from two methods,books and personalexperience.Learning form books may be more wider used,however, how about theimportance,which way is more important?That is more complicated As for books,there aredefinitely many advantages.First,books contain the human sources form manygenerations,especially some masterpices,which we may never learn from ourselves.Forexample,can we spend spend sixty years or whole life to discover a physicaltheroy?Second,learning through books can save much more time which helps useven learn more.In additon,books are moreaviable to everyone,for example,we can just sit in the library learningscience,art,history and so on without any payment.
When itcomes to experience,there are also numberous advantanges that can be list. Themain reason is that what we gain from experience is more suitable.Things frombooks either based on experience from others,who may be totaly different from us,orreaserchs according to experients,which can not have a test on everyone,may bejust not fit us. Another reason is that we can learn somethings none other thanthough personal experience.How can we learn to swim just though a book?Nodoubt,only though staying in water and trying to swim, even after a few failures,canwe learn it.There are even some people believe that the most importantthings,communication skills or handling with emergecy and so on, can onlylearned by experience. Another advantage of experience is that we can attain amore expressive learning through it.Like someone said,by books,you can know it,byexperience,you can learn it.I strongly agree with that saying.
Both two resourcesare imprtant for human and should be used to gain the most knowledge.But In mypoint of view, experience is more important,because it teaches us the mostimportant, the most suitable,and the most expressive skills that will benefitour whole life. |
