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.
-------------------------------
Some people learn about life by their own means and other people learn thanks to the family and friends advices. Both are very good ways to learn about life but in some cases one is better than other and vice versa. In this moment, i am thinking in three different examples: couple life, work life and community life. Let me explain to you these topics.

The first idea is "couple life". I think this is one of mysteries of life that you have to discover by your own but some advices from your parents do not would come bad. For example, when you have a couple you, you have to learn how is this person to deal with day to day but you can only make this possible through your own personal experience. Anyone can learn this but some advices from people who lived something similar can be very helpful.

My Second idea is "work-life". You have a similar problem like "couple life". Deal with your co-worker, bosses and clients are one of the hardest lections of life. Although, some counsels from friends can be very helpful. In other words the best clue to deal with the work-life, it is to have some advices which help you and try learn day by day as much as you can be a real expert in this issue.

And my third is "community life". In this case advices from your parents are so helpful. Remember, they passed for this problem and they really know how to fix those little misunderstandings between neighbors. If you have some doubt, come on, let go and ask them.

In conclusion, i think the best way to learn about life, is by yourself and your own experiences. For me this is the preferable way to learn something.
