Are books more important than experience? ot everything is contained in books ?Books can provide a lot of information but they cannot teach people what real life experiences can teach On the other hand life experiences cannot teach us what books can Real life experiences have advantages and disadvantages as well as books Books have existed even before our existence in this world They are the best source of knowledge They help us learn about the past and present Books aid us in learning about latest discoveries and inventions I had a history project and I did not know where to get information because I did not exist in those times I went to the library and found so much information in books, which I had never known I learned so much and increased my knowledge Although books have loads of advantages, they also have disadvantages Books can give us information but they can never give us real life feelings My friend read in a book about a man who died in mountain climbing She did not feel any emotions and learned nothing because it had never happened with her Books can give us all we need but they cannot teach us how to live in this world In contrast, real life experiences teach us how to live and how to deal with situations I had a very close friend who I had known for more than years We shared everything and never told anyone anything But when she made new friends, she went and told all my secrets to them That is when I learned that no one in this world can be a true friend expect our parents and our brothers and sisters Real life experiences instruct people and help us decide what is wrong and right Although real life experiences can aid us, they can also discourage us When my cousin`s year old sister died, she totally broke apart She totally went mad and now is in the hospital for treatment Experiencing events can be dangerous but also beneficial because they can be guidance I am in favor of real life experiences because they can help build up a person`s character When my friend betrayed me, I learned not to share my deep feelings with anyone Although I was hurt, but I also learned a lesson that I could never have learned in books since it was just a piece of writing Real life experiences have always taught me how live in this life while books have not No matter how informative a source is, it cannot be as useful as real life experiences Books can be good teachers but they are not as good as real life experiences because books cannot help us see the reality while real life experiences can
