It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In which source is more important? Why?
From my point of view, experience is best teacher. I strongly believe that our personal experience teaches us a lot. When you make own decisions then you will get good or bad experience; from both types of experience we will learn lessons. I will agree that we can not learn everything from books. Humans are social animals; they need friends in their life. Books will not teach us how to make friends and how to respect their feelings.
Primary school education to university education level we have some different kinds of friends. We can learn many things from our friends; some time we learn from their experiences, For Instance I do not know cooking; One of my friend is very good cook I inspired by her cooking and I developed interest on cooking. First I spoiled the food and after getting experience in making food; now I can able to cook very delicious food.
The person who has some self experience in their own field; they will give good guidance to the new comers. For example I am an Engineer. I completed Bachelors of technology.
I know very well the courses and other prospects. This experience helped me to guide my sister. When I was in 10+2; I did not have much knowledge regarding that field.
We will also learn things from books but we will not have practical experience. If we not have any practical experience then we will not remember things well. Theoretical knowledge helps to know what is what only but it will not provide clear idea.
But practical knowledge is not like that it will provide clear idea. So you can experience that easily. Once you have experience you can remember for ever.
Finally according to me; Knowledge gained from the books is volatile means temporary. The knowledge gained from experience is nonvolatile.
