Knowledge and experience which is more
important?
知识和经验哪个更重要
?
In
general,
knowledge
gained
from
books
has
a
wider
range
than that gained from experience. We
now live in a world that
typophile is
no longer exorbitant, and that printed matters
are
readily
available.
In
libraries,
we
can
learn
nearly
everything
only if
we
have
already
acquired
basic
reading
skills,
philosophy,
history,
literature,
physics,
mathematics,
chemicals,
biology,
geography,
anthropology,
and
the
list
will
go on. Unlike the experience of an
individual that is limited
by the range
of that individual, books seem to have almost no
limitation. Sitting in the local
library, we virtually can
travel
everywhere
through
an
interesting
geographic
encyclopedia, and
certainly, with nearly no expense at all.
On the other hand, it can be argued
that sometimes knowledge
gained from
experience is much deeper and more comprehensive
than that gained from books. It is
quite true that not every
thing
is
contained
in
books.
How
to
deal
with
personal
finance,
how
to
cope
with
current
social
trends,
even
how
to
most
effectively organize
our own mind, and numerous other things
can seldom be found thoroughly and
comprehensively discussed
in
books,
we
have
to
gain
the
knowledge
by
our
own
experience.
And
the
sad
news
is
that
even
some
knowledge
that
is
contained
in books usually
needs further comprehension, mainly through
experience.
As to
which source is more important, the
answers
vary.
Some
knowledge
can
be
acquired
only
through
books.
It
’
s
hard to imagine we can have a good
understanding of history
without
reading books. On the other hand, some knowledge
can
be obtained only through
experience. When we try to learn to
swim,
merely
a
detailed
manual
of
swimming
skills,
even
abundantly filled with illustrations,
is at most useless. We
have to jump
into the water and then gain the knowledge with
experience. We have to use books and
experience as source
simultaneously to
get what we want to know. Take learning
physics for example, both books and
experiences are equally
important
sources,
and
examples
as
such
are
numerous.
Therefore, I think whether one source
is more important than
