We often hear that "experience is the best teacher" and I've ever heard that "book is the most patient teacher"... am I right?
What is the other statements similar to those above?

Usually, the best teacher is any wisdom you can attain from those who have done what you are doing or who are currently doing what you seek to do and are doing it well. I seemingly learned little from professors in college, but I learned a heck of a lot more from mentors at my workplace and from my parents (both worked in the same industry).
Books are good guides, but not good teachers. Practice also helps, but neither works as well as personal, one-on-one guidance from people in the know.

experience is in a way the worst teacher because it presents the test first and the lesson next.personally i think that books are the best teachers.

i have to agree w/ experience, but in addition to that: oppenness, willingness to learn, opportunity, CHANGE. change is definitely the first after experience. change teaches us so many things. as does getting to know someone different from you. so take your pick. as long as you keep learning throughout the rest of your life, tho, you've got it good. it usually doesn't matter how you learn it, just that you're learning and applying it so that you are working in the best interest of those around you.

well mistakes can be a teacher too. when you do something wrong and you realize it, it can teach you many things. it can be a teacher through yourself. in fact even your downfall can be your teacher.
