Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? (250 words/25 lines)

People are learning and developing throughout their whole lives, they have gained knowledge not only from books but also from practice and experience. In my opinion, both basic knowledge from books and new discovery from experience are important. On the one hand, books hold all knowledge gained by previous generations. Basically, people inherited this holder of human experience. This source of knowledge usually cannot be changed, in particular history books that were written about real events and real people. For example, we can access information about 2nd World War just by using books, not our experiences. Moreover, before making new discoveries in certain sciences people have to acquire fundamental knowledge about the previous achievements from books. Thus, we cannot create the Television without a basic knowledge on Micro electrics. On the other hand, I think, “the truth comes from practice and experience”. The knowledge from experience helps us as much as that from books. For instance, in the past people thought that the Earth was flat, but it was concluded from observations and measurement that we are living on a global planet. There are a lot of new inventions and new products, which could not be found from textbooks. In conclusion, I might say that people are continually assessing the creditability of the knowledge written in books and discovering new things by experiences. Both of these sources are important, and it is essential to know how to combine them.
