People learn about life through various experience. Some experiences are from personal experience and others from indirect one. Both of them are important but some people believe that learning through personal experience is much better than others' advices. However, I do not agree with this opinion because a person cannot experience everything through one's whole life. Besides, indirect experience can give you same impact as well as personal experience. I will tell you more in the following blocks.
First of all, there is a limit that a person can experience through his or her own whole life. If you believe that your friends' or family members' advices are not important and your own experience is the only one, you will learn very tiny part about life. People cannot live for more than even 100 years. Besides, you might not recall memories when you were younger than 5 years old and will forget many thing as time goes by. These all make you remember past very strictly. Because of these reason, people should listen what other people say.
Secondly, more opinions can give you more wisdom. Each person has each thought. Sometimes, some have same idea about a subject but it is usually various. If you concentrate what they say, you will get more knowledge. Knowledge gives you more opportunities that you can think in various situations. This gives you not only more wisdom but it reduces the chance of fail also. One of my friends had been hard time because he could not decide what career he should follow when he was grade 12. He asked me what he should do and I told him the most important fact was what he wanted the most. He finally decided go to some college which he graduate he could be a teacher. He is not a teacher in a school yet, he teaches many students in a academy and he is happy now.
I agree that learning about life through personal experience is very good just. There is even a saying that emphasize it, seeing is believing. I also agree that personal experience gives you stronger impact than indirect experience. However, people move from novels and well-made movies, too. When I watched the movie 'Shashank Redemption' it was so great that I watched several times. After watching the movie, I believe people should not give up anytime even if it is the hardest time in their life so far. As the main actor, I forget the name though, said, hope is a really good thing that nobody can take away from you. As I mentioned, well-made movies can move you and these give you a impact as well as personal experience.
In summary, personal experience can give you stronger impact than others' advices or indirect experience for learning about life. However, a person cannot attain everything only from personal experience and well-made movies and novels can give you same impact as well. These are the reason people should listen others' opinion carefully and read various book in variety of genre. More experience, more wisdom, and less fail. That is what I believe. | |
