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 your
opinion, which source is more important? Why?

People always are learning and practicing through their whole lives. From reading
words in textbook such as toy, car, train etc., people have the concept and ideas. They
further understand the actual meaning of these words by playing toys and riding or driving
cars, trains etc.
Education (books) and experience are the main two channels for People to gain their
knowledge. Each plays different roles for people. In my opinion, knowledge from
experience is more important than that from books.

Experience first can prove if the knowledge formbooks are true or false. Textbooks are
very wonderful in teaching people essential principles, how is the world looks like? What is the basic law of change of people and things? We can learn a lot through primary
school, secondary school until university. However, people can only understand the really
meaning of those form books and justify them if they are right through practices. A few
hundred years ago, people learnt from textbook that the earth was flat. However scientists
found that was wrong through observations and measurement.
The knowledge from experience can improve and advance The world and our society. As
books have limitation, they only teach us what people found in the past. The knowledge
from the books are constrained to the certain conditions and environment. For example,
mould and tools design for plastics industry, the university course only taught me very
simple cases, most knowledge is obtained from various different and complicated cases in
my career.
There are a lot new inventions and new products, which could not be found from
textbooks. Our society and world are developed through continuous practices, those
knowledge, never found in books, such as internet, e-business etc. are all developed
through new practices.
"The truth comes from practices and experience", people are continually discovering new
things and assessing the creditability of the knowledge written in books. The knowledge
from experience helps us much more than those from books.
