Which Is More Important: Knowledge from Books or
Knowledge from Experience
As we know, most knowledge we have comes from two sources: the books orpersonal experience in our daily life. Each one has its advantage. Maybe somepeople think that book knowledge is more important than experience knowledge.However, I am strongly against their opinion. I consider that experience is moreuseful.
Firstly, practical experience can help us find jobs successful. There aretwo kinds of people: experienced employees and college graduates, if you are amanager, which one do you prefer? There is no doubt that you will choose theexperienced employees. Because they have more practical knowledge, theyunderstand what their companies needs and how to make profit for theircompanies. Some college graduates have learned much book knowledge, but theycan’t take advantage of these theories effectively. Therefore, many companiesare not willing to employ graduates. This phenomenon tells us experience is moreimportant for us to find good jobs.
Secondly, experience can give us more impressed knowledge. It’s said thatone learn by doing, if you want to make advances, it’s necessary to practice.Moreover, we learn how to get along with others or how to have self-respect fromexperience. We feel happy and sorrow directly from experience. The preciousknowledge absolutely can’t get from books.
Thirdly, our country’s development depends on innovation, which comes fromexperimentation. Comparing Chinese education system with American’s, we knowthat Chinese education usually pay more attention to scores students get andneglect their ability of innovation. On the contrary, American educationemphasizes personal practice, that’s the reason why the progress of Americantechnology is so rapid. The contrast reminds us of the importance of experienceknowledge.
Needless to say both learning sources have their own advantages. But in myopinion, experience knowledge is more important, because without practicalexperience, it’s impossible to get a real understanding of book knowledge, andto know how to apply this knowledge to real situations.
