We acquire knowledge from Education or from Experience

We acquire knowledge from Education or experience. I think olden days people acquired knowledge through experience. They were not much educated. Life teaches us so many things through different sources. When we meet people and talk to them we gain knowledge from them. Now a days Education is a must because of education only get good jobs , also girls when they want to get married they see whether the person is highly educated, one degree is not enough for them , after graduation also they study more so that they get a good job and they dont want ordinary jobs but job with a high position. When we go for jobs also they see whether we have experience.

Only some are talented that they learn in schools while the teacher teaches only. My son was like that for him the message goes to his head immediately the Teacher teaches and he used to study lot of books also. When I was in School I used to byheart my lessons, that was not enough but that time did not understand. My parents were also not educated, so had to take the help from brothers but instead of teaching they will ask questions which was difficult to answer, so better learn by ourselves. I was very fond of Maths so before the Teacher could teach I used to learn from the examples, me and my best friend used to study together and wanted to get excellent remark from the teaher. We acquired knowledge through the guidance of from parents, role models, college/University teachers and life experiences.

When we were children our parents guided us because we did not know much about life. Now a days parents are well educated so they are able to teach the children . But some prefer sending the children to classes as they dont study propelry at home. Every parents want their children to be smart but all children are not much talented. We should know where they are lacking and train them in that . A child should have confidence in himself. Parents shoiuld support their children and guide them, instead of finding fault with them and comparing them with other children

We should have a Role Model from whom we can learn so many things. This helps us to have interest in education and thereby we gain knowledge. For me my brother was my Role Model , he was a very good planner and do everything systematially, also he never like gossips, while writing letters he used to say it should be sweet and short , letters should be written only to convey the message he used to say. While working some of my bosses were Role Models and I learnt so much from them. They were very systematic and perfect and I was glad I had the opportunity to work under them.

Reading books is also a better way to gain knowledge. In IL also we get opportunity to learn from others threads. When I post a thread I learn more from the feedbacks because some of the things which I wanted to write but could not express is expressed in the feedbacks. Only having knowledge is not enough we should know how to put it in writing and convey the message to others.

Some feel only education gives knowledge but there are people who are not much educated but through their experience they have grown up and become big shots. My brother and my husband studied only upto Xth but they have more knowledge, my brother raised from the position of a clerk to Depot Manager. Experience only reached him to that level. My husband also has knowledge of so many things and he has good memory. Whatever happened fifity years back he still remembers and narrates very well

We acquire knowledge from our mistakes too. Next time we dont do any mistake and learn where we went wrong. Women during their first delivery they dont know anything but next time when they deliver they remember where all they went wrong and correct themselves.

It depends on how we acquire knowledge. We have to work hard. Its not only enough to learn but also we should put into practice what we learnt and share it with others

This time I am so happy three of my threads are nominated and two are nominated by @jayasala42 who is so knowledgeable. The credit of my writing goes to IL because from here only I learn to write well.
