It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books."
Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge
gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
Text:
In my view, there is not a clear answer about whether knowledge gained from
experience or books is more important. Instead, its importance is dependent
upon individuals. For some people, experience matters more than knowledge
contained in books, since the way they earn their livings is not really so
related to books. For example, some farmers do not receive much education,
but they know everything related to farming well, which is, as is often the
case, acquired from experience. For these people, whether they know much
of the knowledge contained in books or not does not seem to be so important.
However, for some other people, gaining knowledge from books is necessary for
them, especially when the knowledge in books plays an important role for
them to earn their livings. Scientists are an example of these people.
Certainly, such people may also be able to live by finding other jobs which
do not require much knowledge contained in books. When they really want to
do so, experience may then turn out to be the most important stuff, which is
the point stated before that the importance of experience and knowledge in
books is dependent upon whoever is using them.
