Are books more important than experience? |
Human beings go through the various steps in one’s life-expansion. Among these stages, the experience is the most strong, affective and tremendous for us to occupy our mental section. Unless experience has blocked us but for books, we could not develop ourselves normally as a real man; in terms of dealing with problems we face, the exchanging sympathy and so on. First of all, numerous matters happening around us almost everyday and entire life can not be sufficient for reading a book only. We are supposed to do overcome or avoid our problems and it is accumulated to our experience. Once we are in agony and solve certain problems, it is to be our own know-how. Thus, when we face it again, we can handle it without heart breaking or time consuming. The important role in experience is that it awakes our sensation and stimulus our warmhearted emotion. It has extremely different function from books being gained. When I was young, I brought up a small dog. As I raise him more and more, I have a heart toward the animal as well as got to know the characters of dog. Through this experience, I started to become an animal lover and protectionist as well. Thirdly, even though we fully apprehend the manner with another countries people, we sometimes make mistake. In case of meeting with western person and oriental person aware of their cultural differences, in that eye-contact, silence or passive behavior has enough to misconceive each other. Without abundant experience, it is not easy to narrow down the communication gap with foreigners. In conclusion, considerable things necessary to live life better is based on our own experience that can be never slips away. I strongly believe that books remain in the forms of guiding some of tips but the experience can give us to act everything and challenge and attain as you feel. It couldn’t be no more a good teacher. |
