TOEFL essay: Some people believe that the best way of learning about life... Tue May 06, 2008 5:03 am  TOEFL essay: Some people believe that the best way of learning about life...
 

Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.

Learning is an endless process that almost all people are compelled to experience during their lives. Some claim that adhering to the consultancy of family and close companions proves to be the optimal way to learn about life, others insist that exploring the world using personal experience is far more reliable. This piece of writing will thoroughly discuss the positive sides of both of these two contradictory perspectives.

The unique authenticity of personal experience is undeniable. Upon getting involved in an incident directly, an individual is able to draw hands-on and accurate lessons based on his or her particular feelings. A young person could only become conscious of the value of labor only when he or see actually senses the bitterness of hardship through taking up employment to make a living. Indeed, personal experience is an indispensable factor making a significant contribution to people’s learning progress.

Meanwhile, comprehensive and objective opinions from family members and intimate friends prove to be a crucial source of assistance. Given that the people around a person are evidently a huge and diverse depository of trustworthy learning and experience, extracting wisdom from these people is clearly an expeditious manner to learn about life. A fledgling entrepreneur who is struggling with his vulnerable start-up would find the advice from a friend who is also running a business extremely practical. As a matter of fact, living experiences of family and companions is an invaluable treasure to a person who aspires to explore life.

However, I am personally convinced that discovering about life through the counsel of intimate people is evidently more effective. Personal-experience-based-learning means risking facing failures to gain appropriate perception. On the contrary, listening to people who already experience triumph and loss is a far safer way to acquire proper understanding about life.

In conclusion, personal experience presents people with a direct view and sense of life whereas seasoned people’s advice offers life-learners exhaustive and practical viewpoints. Nevertheless, almost all people are highly recommended to opt for the latter to attend numerous lessons about life with safety and confidence.
