The book knowledge and experiences

Nowadays, with the knowledge’s explosion, the world is developing in amazing speeds. In order to survive in this century adequate knowledge is essential. There are numerous kinds of knowledge however, the terms book knowledge and experience nearly conclude all other knowledge.

First and foremost book knowledge and experience have two distinct ways to be acquired. Literally, book knowledge means that it can be only gained by reading books; furthermore, book reading plays a significant role in every single person’s life. Everybody needs to read to obtain new information, and book knowledge is very easy for people to understand. In the other words, book knowledge requires less comprehension. In contrast, experience is a kind of knowledge which can be solely acquired by going thought an event. The same as book reading, experiencing different situations are the things that people never stop doing. Experiences, however, unlike the book knowledge which can be fastly absorbed, it takes longer times to accumulate, and involves more comprehension. For example, playing basketball; players can learn every theory and posture by reading relevant books, which may be filled with images. After learning these rules they may be a profession critic, but they cannot even play like ordinary basketball players; likewise, if they just go to the Gym and begin to play basketball without any knowledge they might just know how to play it basically and will never make progress.

Second, knowledge range is another obvious dissimilarity between book knowledge and experience. Book knowledge has a wider range than experience. Containing thousands of different kinds of knowledge, libraries can be found everywhere in the world. People only need to sit in them with very basic reading skills and they can begin their adventures to the places to whatever they want. From sitting in biology lecture to roaming on the moon, books give people the chances to fulfill there dreams by reading. Extensive knowledge is the feature of book knowledge. On the other hand, experiences confines in a narrow range. Even though experience does not have a wide range, it seems more specific. For instance: operating a machine. A person can learn many theories and even know the procedures this machine produces by reading books. He/she will never know the specific problems happening in the process of operating the machine.

What are the differences when book knowledge and experience apply to the reality? The question is the final dissimilarity between them. Book knowledge is acquired by reading. Therefore, book knowledge tends to be a more abstract concept. Thus, book knowledge is more about detail and precision but it falls short a little far away from reality. On the contrary, the experience is more practical and closer to daily life. For instance, to learn how to drive a car: people can not learn this skill only by knowing book knowledge or even watching video records. They need to find cars and get in them. Using their hands to touch and try. The best way to acquire the driving skill is to do it.

In brief on how to gain book knowledge and experience which is a wider topic and how to use the two are the chief distinctions for distinguishing them; nevertheless, they both are extremely significant for humanity. People can not learn history, mathematics, and other subjects without book knowledge, whereas they will not know how to play tennis and other sports without experiencing them.
