Knowledge Gained from Books or Gained from Expenience

Our knowledge gained from both books and experiences. In my opinion, knowledge gained from experiences is more important than gained from books.

The first reason is that we can learn from failures and mistakes we made in our life so that we will not make the same mistakes repeatedly.

Second, learning from experiences is active because we have to transform our knowledge into actions. We must use the knowledge rather knowing it; therefore, we input knowledge by reading books while we output the actions though our experiences.

Last but not least, we can make great progress from our experiences. Experience is the best teacher of everyone. Books teach us the concept and some methods. However, the most suitable method of solving problems in life differs from person to person. No one can tell us the best answer before we try.

To sum up, we absorb the complete knowledge until we realize how to use the knowledge flexibly. So I think knowledge gained from experiences is more important than gained from books.
