“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.”-Aristotle
“Knowledge gives you the idea. Lived experience gives you the evidence. And lived experience changes us in a way information rarely can.” -Veronica Joce
“We learn even as we teach.” -Seneca, Letters to Lucilius, Letter 7
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” -Albert Einstein
In order to really learn something, you can read about the thing, but at some point, you’re gonna have to just do the thing.
And if you really, really want to learn something, after you’ve done the thing, then go and teach the thing to someone else. That will tell you if you actually know the thing.
