Are books more important than experience?
There is a saying that ot everything that is learned is contained in
books. ?I cannot agree with it more. We should not ignore
resources of knowledge other than books, such as experience.
First of all, experience teaches us much knowledge which rarely
appears in books. For example, no books teach us how to drive cars.
Most people learn driving by practice under the guidance of
experienced drivers, and only by practicing himself, can one really
learn how to drive. Perhaps there are some books teaching driving,
but people can hardly learn driving by merely reading manuals, as
people can hardly learn swimming without jumping into the water.
Secondly, only from experience can people explore throughout the
unknowns and gain new knowledge. Knowledge on the first book
comes from nowhere but experience.
Franklin discovered the electricity by his kit, Magellan found that
the earth is spherical by sailing. People find new knowledge from
experience and write them into books. It is in this way that humanbeing explore the world generation by generation.
However, I am not saying that knowledge from book is non-sense.
Books are the most available and most effective methods to gain
knowledge. People learn knowledge from books without painfully
exploring the world himself, this is the value of books. But nowadays
there is a harmful thought that all knowledge can be found on books,
and people need not experience by himself. So it is worthy pointing
out that, knowledge from experience is as important as, if not more
important than those from books.
