Compare & discuss which form of knowledge is more important.
Trough books or trough experience?

Nowadays people study at universities for a long time in order to be high skill on the later job. But the question is, would it be better if you learn more by experience and not only by books and lectures?
In my opinion learning trough experience is more important than studying from books. There are several aspects to consider.
One major aspect is the ability to experience things that are not in the books or in detailed described. For example, you may read a book about how to learn to swim, but actually to really learn swimming you have to do it on your own. As such the experience you have in contrast to reading a book will help you to better adapt to your surroundings and learn in a different way.
Another point for learning by experience is the possibility to learn aspects that are far more sophisticated in theory as on learning by your own. Because if you want to paint a picture and want to mix colors, you either have to learn the complex rules of color mixing, the additive and substitutive mixing. Or you can learn it by your own experience which will be much easier.
The last important positive fact about learning by experience is the ability of help. You also can receive help while studying from a book, for example from your lecturer, but the most efficient way of helping you is when you learn by experience. Another persons may show you how to swim or how to drive a bike.
In conclusion there are a lot of different advantages while learning by experience. Studying from books is also possible but its more like a substitute for learning directly from a person.
