There has been much talk recently about whether we should learn from books or we should learn from practice. Some people think that learning by practicing is more important while others hold the different opinions. Personally, I side with the former, in the belief that practice is the best teacher.

　　Admittedly, learning from books has its active role to play in our academic life. It can put us in touch with the great minds and arm our heads with massive knowledge.

　　However, there are numerous merits for learning by practicing, too. Firstly, practice is the source of knowledge and understanding as well as meaning. Nowhere can the importance of learning by practicing be described so vividly and accurately as in the old saying—“Nothing ever becomes real till it is practiced”. Take the human progress as an illustration. Dating back to hundreds of thousands years ago, we human beings were utterly ignorant. But by incessant practice, our ancestors cumulated massive practice, from which they acquired a great amount of knowledge, transforming our world from a primitive society into a highly-developed one. Secondly, unlike the theories recorded in books, practice can be applied to practical use. When we are at work, what we need is the practice of application instead of the abstract theories in our books.

　　All in all, we can draw a conclusion that learning from practice is more important than learning from books. Always remember the old saying given by Einstein——“The only source of knowledge is practice. ”
