Experience gives us knowledge of the world around us and education changes it into something better.png

Which is Better, Education or Experience →

May 22, 2024 Brent Jones

Education usually refers to someone's higher learning, aka their university degree. Compare this to experience that provides learning from completing first-hand, practical tasks and immersing yourself in real-world situations.

Authors in the field of self-help and personal development often delve into the debate of education versus experience, exploring what can be learned from each.

Consider a deep-sea diver. Would a theoretical class or firsthand experience be more beneficial? The answer, echoing the phrase 'experience is the best teacher', suggests that direct personal experiences can be more impactful than secondhand knowledge.

“The only source of knowledge is experience.” – Albert Einstein.

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.” – Chinese Proverb.

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” This quote from Mahatma Gandhi underscores the urgency of continuous learning, encouraging us to seize every opportunity to expand our knowledge.

Experience and Education Still Matter →

March 30, 2022 Brent Jones

Education is the starting process for making people more thoughtful about the end destination. Once you learn something, you have to figure out the value of knowing it.

Experience is what it takes to know how to accomplish the something with less effort because of lessons previously learned.

What you learn and experience can often determine your success or failure. Effortful learning combined with real-life on-the-job experience is a winning formula for success. Your choices and your experiences help create the person that you are.

Sharing an experience within the context of the lecture or advice consolidates learning, fosters better understanding, and impresses longer in the minds of students or those having the experience. It simply puts theories to practice firsthand.

Change is the end result of all true learning - so seek change →

January 23, 2022 Brent Jones

Education expands our vision and gives us knowledge of the world around us, and education changes it into something better. It changes our perspective of looking at life and enables us to form our points of view on things in life. It develops the capabilities to fight against injustice, violence, corruption, and other harmful societal elements.

“Change is the result of all true learning.-Leo Buscaglia” “Learning never exhausts the mind.-Leonardo da, Vinci.” “- Aristotle.” “Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence -Abigail Adams. ”
