The best way of learning about life When it comes to the issue of the understanding of life, some people suggest that the best way to learn about life is getting others` opinions, while other people maintain that the best way is learning person experience In my point of view, the latter opinion carries more weight In the first place, learning from successful experience is beneficial for people For instance, a student who is preparing for an important exam can think of the past exams which he did very well, and this student can review more effectively if he learn from this experience Moreover, the student can acquire the understanding of life that people who work effectively can be successful In the second place, learning from the failures of person experience can greatly help people understand life A case in point is that, losing money because of unwise investments is part of many businessmen`s experiences If a businessman is going to invest a big project, he can look back at his experience of losing money and find out why he lost money As a result, he probably will plan his investment more carefully this time so that he will not make the same mistake Learning from those failures can help people learn how to make wise decisions in life, and people can understand that avoiding mistakes is one of the keys to success of life In conclusion, though learning from one`s personal experience may have a few drawbacks, it may not take into account other peoples` opinions, for example, generally speaking, its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages, because both successful experience and setbacks help people understand their lives better
