1. It has been said that, “Not everything learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
There are two sources of knowledge that we can learn in life such as knowledge gained from books and knowledge gained from experiences. It is believed that not everything learned is contained in books. Although, books and experiences are beneficial for humans in many aspects of life, knowledge gained from experiences seems to be wider than knowledge gained from books.
On the one hand, knowledge gained from books brings a number of benefits for humans. Firstly, books contained experiences of our ancestors and knowledge in many fields such as science, technology and other fields. Secondly, it takes less time to gain knowledge from books than from experiences. Moreover, it is obvious that knowledge that we have from reading books helps us face a fewer problems in life.
On the other hand, gaining knowledge from experiences can become a wider choice. It is said that knowledge from experiences is more valuable because not all information contains in books. For example, we cannot learn soft skills which contribute to our success by only reading books since these skills are not contained in books. Studies has shown that the most important factor that contributes to the success of the rich and famous people such as Bill Gate and Steve Jobs are experiences that they gained during their business.
Despite the fact that knowledge gained from books are useful, experiences play the more important part of the success in life. In my opinion, asides from gaining information from books, we have to acquire knowledge from the real life.
