< Two ways of learning about life>

Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family or friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. The both sides of the arguments have many advantages and disadvantages.

The main advantage of way of listening to the advice is that you can get some kind of useful things about life without risk and you can make choice about what you do with reliable advice. Especially, the parents in the family already might have had experiences the situation in their youth. Then, they could give us some helpful answers about the question. On the other hand, one big advantage of way of having personal experience is that you can get detailed information and direct learning by having experience. Maybe, someone could fear the danger of learning about life. However, whether the experience is good or bad, the situation could make you know that the experience is practical advice.

On the contrary, there are some disadvantages. The main disadvantage of way of listening to the advice is that you cannot correctly understand the situation of life. The advice given by other people might be appropriate method to you. Then, you can feel it is dissatisfactory. On the other hand, one big disadvantage of way of having personal experience is that you might feel frustration when you are in a difficult situation.

In my opinion, I prefer to have personal experience because I want to know the situation more correctly. I think that the way is more proper to me than just listening to advice. For example, I like to work in exciting job directly and I usually apply to the job without getting some advice. The job can be hard and tough to me, but I think it is worth having experience.
