Question

I really don't agree with the word "learning from people is much easier than learning from books." Everyone has his own opinion on things he is learning or has learnt. I think at least for me, the best way of learning is to learn through the books first, to ask questions and to form my opinion, and then to discuss with people, either in person or through MSN, blogs or some other ways. sure, one can always get an impression about something he knows nothing by talking with experts, but I don't think one can really expect others to explain in detail and learn a lot from that if his basic knowledge is empty.
