The stranger, the better.

Learn from books or teacher?

ihsanul_aniq @ihsanul_aniq (1118) • Malaysia 27 Jan 07

What do you think about this kind of thing. Do we best learn with reading (book, journal, paper etc) or do we best learn by teacher (class, lectures etc). For the example, how to fix the computer. With just reading, can we do it?
