In every stage of our lives, we encounter various obstacles that needs a careful decision. In this situation, some people say that we should take advices of friends and family while prefers to handle them by themselves. As far as I am concerned I strongly insist that people should learn about their lives by experiencing them directly. It is because it allows people to easily attain new learnings and take them for long periods.
To begin with, people can obtain knowledges without difficulty when are experienced by myself. There is an old saying, "Seeing is believing". It literally means that myriads of hearing cannot worth the one seeing. When I first moved into Daejeon, the city where I have lived for 10 years till now, I was totally new and couldn't even find a way to my school alone. Definitely, my mother, friends and even my class teacher tried to help me finding my sense of locality but was not so easy. In spite of kind help of people around me, I hardly could became aware of only my apartment places. Finally, I couldn't leave it this way and decided to engrave a map of this town into my head all by myself. I rode a bicycle whole day and miraculously, it really worked. I couldn't remember the exact way to any destinations despite lots of advices of people, but it was feasible after making an effort for just a day by myself. As we can see here, we can easily acquire knowledges by experiencing directly.
Moreover, it is likely to remember the information over the long term which is gained by onself. We all have experiences that some pleasant or conversely, awful memories last long and cannot be forgotten easily. In this matter, information learned by oneself obviously stays long. When I was a middleschool student, I had a friend who was really well informed at the Korean history. I really wondered how he was so good at it and the answer was at his hometown. Since he was born at Kyungjoo city, which played a prominent role in the Korean history, he could easily experience various historical matters by many museums and events around when he was young. When every student was making an all-out effort to memory all that informations, he didn't do such hard works but always made good grades in the subject. Like this, things learned by one's experience last long.
Needless to say, every word of family and friends is valuable for our lives. However, people remember that taking every advice of others sometimes can be loss to themselves. It is because, knowledges obtained by direct experience by oneself can be learned easier and also last longer. Someone said 'the life is endless experiencing'. Please remember that every experience always take a priceless role in our lives! | |
