Experience is the best teacher

Paraphrase People thought that books are the source of all knowledge, but learning by books can provide us only the ideas and understanding. The best strategy to get experience from everything is to use our knowledge.

We can use out knowledge to know more about the world and our detail subject. But the book doesn’t provide us enough to the level of situations.

The knowledge from books can not help us at all we have to use it to get benefits. Like learning how to drive, although we read many guide books but if we don’t practice we won’t be able to drive.

Experience and theory from book is different. As we see, a person wants to drive even he tries to read with many driving books but he still can’t become a good driver. That’s why the books can teach only “traffic rules” the ways to handle the situation but the fact that is happen while he was driving was different from the book. So every student has to practice before they get the certificate after he finish the lesson.

Practice is more effective than studying from books because it made us to fact the real situation to get experience. The ways we driving is to control the real helm but not by reading books. The most important is the books show only something that happened already. It’s not the problem that they are going to face in the present. However, the experiences guide us to improve our knowledge.

Books like the scripture that’s save much knowledge but sometimes they can’t guide us to taste the better things of life.

So the notion ‘Experience is the best teacher’ is perfectly true.
