Theoretical Vs Practical ?

This thought came up coz:

My Bro being cool that my 3 years old niece knows all the objects in day to day life, if u give her 2 slices of apple and give 2 more then she says I eat 4 slices but she does know the word plus : ), while my SIL is always concerned that my niece darling cannot do well with preschool books. 60% theoretical knowledge, I gained in schools is no use unless u practically get into it.
1. Loved reading biology / labeling diagrams but upon first dissection, realized cannot stand blood (dizzy).

That does bring in the question whether a person should take a practical or theoretical approach to any task in life. Balance between both is ideal, what's your take believe more on theoretical or practical exposure? And yes!, if you prefer a reason or example

IMO - Only with theoretical knowledge of any assignments you cannot cruise your ship to Success Island. Being practical or practical knowledge plays a role or very important role successfully complete it, leaving the competition behind.

Edit - bold font

Theoretical to start with and then Practical.

Firstly dats a nice topic

For me both are equal, u can't do any practical without some theory..and theory without any pratical is useless..

u always start with a theory first and using this theory u can do some pratical...for me theory is first step...for example ur doing an experiment in biology, u have to knw the theory first and then do the experiment...u cnt just do the experiment because u wnt knw anything...so for me theory is as important as pratical...

Now secondly it will b useless of knwing nly theory, u will have to do some practices as well....because theory are things which have been written by some other people...its u who will have to use these theory in real life to knw whether the theory is right or not...theory are words of other ppls not urs...nly by praticing it that u will learrn
