During our lives, we encounter countless problems, some which are serious, and some of which are not. Anyway, we need a lot of knowledge to solve our problems regardless of their level of importance. There are two types of people who try to solve troubles via utilizing their knowledge from written information such as books, and some people prefer to use their gained knowledge from their own experience. Definitely, both types obtain important knowledge for our lives. However there are many different perspectives between knowledge by reading, as well as by experiencing.
Obtaining knowledge through personal experiences has many advantages, but in the meantime, it is true that it has some drawbacks as well. First of all, knowledge from our own experience might last people’s entire lives. For example, when we get some odor from a particular place, we don't want to go again because we recall the odor without any effort to remember or when we touch some surface of materials such subject as metal, fabric, fur, rock, and so on, it is unforgettable what my feeling was after I touched. Beside, these actual experience minimize people's mistakes because our memorize make us decide whether we should do something or not. However, it is not always better way to gain knowledge because it is impossible to get all knowledge whatever we need through actual activities. If I need to get information about a country that is located the other side of the earth from my location, surely, I can get many information through traveling, but it takes a lot out of my time and money.
Reading books is a good way to get knowledge, but it has some disadvantages too. The best benefit of reading books is getting huge useful knowledge without a lot of expense compare with doing real actions. For instance, through reading written stuff, I can understand what kinds of structure human being and animals have, what sorts of social or economical troubles that have occurred. Also, I can get much information other areas that I have never been. In addition, getting knowledge from reading doesn't only need to be from the right places. Instead, we see many people read many kinds of stuff in parks, streets, and even in the subway. Even though, It has many great profits, there is a considerable drawback as well. Regardless, whether people are smart or not, the gained knowledge from reading doesn't remain in their memories for a long time than actual experiences because of the limit of human being’s minds.
As I already present, both types of way to gain knowledge are inevitable for our lives. However, if I have to choose only one way to gain knowledge, I would select the way to gain knowledge from my own personal experiences. I believe that actual experiences are unforgettable for my entire life, and it makes me wise through minimizing mistakes before I decide to do something.
