Writing Feedback / Is experience better than book? [5]
Life is an arena in which every person live, study, learn and build his living. It is Difficult to determine which source of knowledge is more important. Because they are two different sources but complement and they can not be substitute with each other. In my opinion the gained knowledge from experience is more important. we learn a lot from books but our most important knowledge achieve from our experiences. Let me illustrate my supporting reasons.
First of all, both books and experience are foundation of knowledge. The knowledge that we obtain from books are theoretical and abstract. In the university we study a lot of subjects, gain general information and in some separate lessons we get deep knowledge. For example imagine an electrical engineer study electrical circuit's lesson very thorough and becomes an erudite one but are these entire theoretic education make him qualified to find a suitable career? Here is the experience complete the formal education. This well-informed student may design circuits but if this circuit will be operational? The answer is dependent upon experience which is obtained from working, encounter with problems, try to eliminate errors and modify the circuit.
The second one, the knowledge which is obtained from experiences is more effective and permanent than reading the books. Our learning of experience is distinct and first-handed whereas books are experiences and ideas of other people. They are very useful and eye opening for everyone to extract necessary information and save her/his time. For example in solving math questions having a handbook with solution of the questions is very helping but real knowledge will gain when you encounter with questions, try to solve them even you can not and find your strength and weakness. I mean by assimilating experiences and theoretical knowledge you can develop your long-lasting skills.
Conclusively, both books and experiences are powerful tools and great resources in headway of any person. They are supplemental but can not be replaced by each other. Although I agree with this expression; knowledge that is gained from experience is more important but combination of formal education with practical experience results lingering skills and lead person to be a successful and valuable one for himself/herself and society.
