If
you warn a child not to put his or her hand near the fire, he or she may not
listen to you. But if the child actually touches the flame out of curiosity, he
or she will get burnt. By actual experience the child will learn that putting
one’s hand in fire can cause a lot of pain and physical damage.
Most
of our study is based on books. We may read a lot about the beauty of the Taj
Mahal , but only by actually making a visit to the Taj will we really
experience its grandeur. Again ,there are many skills, like mechanical skills
,for which mere theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. We must actually go
through the experience of handling the machines and learning from our mistakes.
