Personal Development: Pratice what you learn
With the amount of knowledge and resources available in the world today, it is very easy to be easily overwhelmed with the information available at their disposal. The world we know today has changed with just a few types of your laptops. You could fully understand things you were not familiar with 30 mins ago.
The resources available for professionals are many, and it is littered everywhere. While this could be a good thing, someone with no prior knowledge of something could engage with the resources they have come across and become more knowledgeable about the topic. The downturn of resources being littered everywhere is that many people consume this knowledge without putting what they have learnt to work. To me, people in this state are destined not to make any impact on the world despite their widely acquired and recognised skills.
I have been guilty of this issue before, leaving me stranded in a position for so long. But what's the essence of acquiring and not applying all the skills to solve a problem? It is a waste. Unapplied skills and knowledge will not change the world, and they won't also benefit the person who possesses them.
Aside from learning a skill, it is important to practice it to ensure that you got it right. Practising what you learn makes it become part of you in no time as you get better after each practice. In my opinion, the term practice makes perfect is coined to take humans closer to perfection and get things right. The truth is learning and learning without application will not give you a full description of if what you learnt is still valid oh absolute.
In summary, here her five reasons why you should practice whatever you learn:
- Practising your skills makes your perfect your trade with them
- A shot at learning more through trial and error
- Helps to know the applicability of what was learnt in the real world
- practising what you learned might birth a new innovation or conform to the existing beliefs
- Practising makes you discover newer things.
Learning without practising may make one to forget what they have learnt. More so, practice is what ultimately leads one to perfection.
Nice piece buddy.
Thanks for adding a few inputs..
You are right, learning alone doesn't cut it, it has to be balanced with practicing, it is only normal that we will forget the things we have learned within a short time if we fail to practice.
Exactly, learning alone does not cut it
Apparently, there is a lot to learn at this age and time and we all have access to knowledge, the problem, however, is with the implementation of the acquired knowledge, knowledge acquired will only be with while if we implement things appropriately.
Last year, i was learning and learning and discovered that people who i know more than were moving ahead, and i took a step back to assess the situation, turns out, they were implementing the little they know
