Compare knowledge gained from books
with knowledge gained from experience.
6.0 Sample
People always are learning and practicing through their
whole lives. From reading words in text book such as toy, car, train etc.,
people have the concept and ideas. They further understand the actual meaning
of these words by playing toys and riding or driving cars, trains etc.
Education (books) and experience are the main two channels
for People to gain their knowledge. Each play different roles for people. In my
opinion, knowledge from experience is more important than that from books.
Experience first can prove if the knowledge form books are
true or false. Textbooks are very wonderful in teaching people essential
principles, how is the world looks like? what is the basic law of change of
people and things? We can learn a lot through primary school, secondary school
until university. However, people can only understand the really meaning of
those form books and justify them if they are right through practices. A few hundred
years ago, people learnt from text book that the earth was flat. However
scientists found that was wrong through observations and measurement.
The knowledge from experience can improve and advance
the world and our society. As books have limitation, they only teach us the
what people found in the past. The knowledge from the books are constrained to
the certain conditions and environment. For example, mould and tools design for
plastics industry, the university course only taught me very simple cases, most
knowledge are obtained from various different and complicated cases in my
career.
There are a lot new inventions and new products which could
not be found from textbooks. Our society and world are developed through
continuous practices, those knowledge, never found in books, such as internet,
e-business etc. are all developed through new practices.
"The truth comes from practices and experience",
people are continually discovering new things and assessing the creditability
of the knowledge written in books. The knowledge from experience help us much
more than those from books.
