We do many things for getting knowledge, and there are differences in getting knowledge, ‘experience and book’. Although the preference of these methods would be different depends on people, I prefer to get the source through book and think that it is more important than experience.
The knowledge obtained from experience is remains in our memory more clearly. People get to remember many things, but they are more likely to remember what they do themselves not the abstract things they learn from school or book since they understand the knowledge more easily and utterly from experience. Experience is also what we see and feel in flash so it is really good to get the knowledge deeply not just seeing the surface of knowledge.
In contrast, knowledge comes from book is not real so people forget the knowledge more easily than experience but book is in terms the result of someone’s experience such as experiment or travel. So the knowledge we get though book is much efficient because we do not spend time on learning detail to get the knowledge and takes short time in compared to experience. In addition, the knowledge is well organized from the book editor.
Although there are many advantages in the knowledge got from experience, it cannot be more important than book. Experience stands on what you do. Thus, we cannot see the knowledge with a different view in case you have some prejudice about the knowledge. It is also no use when you want to get more difficult knowledge because your experience is not recorded so you might fail getting knowledge if you wanted to get more complicated knowledge from your experience. Besides, it takes too much time when you need knowledge from your from your experience like experiment in compared to book. Yet, the knowledge gained from book is pretty easier to get than experience so that it is well organized, and we do not need much time and money to get the knowledge without experience.
All in all, getting knowledge with book is more important than experience for the reasons that we can consider the wide range of knowledge we get to learn. Therefore, I recommend you to buy a book to get knowledge when you have to get much information in limited period or need wide or you prefer efficiency on getting knowledge. |
