My writing practice：books and experience Although people always say that experience is the mother of wisdom, it’s worthwhile to get enough information from books before you put it into practice. From my point of view, it depends on people’s capacity, and may be the age. There is no better way for little kids to read attractive books they enjoy then to do dangerous works by themselves. Kids are too young for those kinds of complicated practice activities, which probably get them into dangerous situation. On the contrary, books will help them more. For example, if a young boy explodes firecrackers without learning the instruction on the book. He may pay for his recklessness. However, there is no doubt that practice gets us much valuable information which is can not be learned on the book, especially for most of the teenagers.Let me take an instance of doing the experiment. The reason why we go to a lab and do the experiment is that we long to put the knowledge we have learned into practice. It is different form theories and practice. If we know that the ph value of acid is less than 7 but never try to practice it, how can we prove or believe that the theory on the book is true? What we do is just superstitions. Therefore, teenagers who have their own thoughts and capabilities are supposed to practice as much as they can. As for adults, may be they should try to combine the experience with books, because they live in the society that requires both experience and skills, which help them, get a stronger competitive advantage. From what has been discussed above, you may safely draw the conclusion that the importance of books and experience should depends on the actual situation.
