“Learn by doing because your best teacher is experience. You’re the best teacher of yourself, because you understand yourself better than anyone else. If you’re thoroughly dedicated and study something deeply, you can teach yourself whatever you need to know.”

“Once you have determined to do something, the less time you allow to elapse until you act, the better. A failed action, done quickly, will improve your confidence more than one done after great procrastination, even if it succeeds…
…Dynamic people take more actions in one morning than most people take in a month. The goal is to take many more actions in a given time period than you normally do. Start slowly, try to take even just two actions in a day, and increase from there.”
– Phil Stutz, Lessons for Living

How can you arrive at an answer only worked out in your head?
The only way to know for sure is to use the hands: to grasp, pick up, try, experiment, take action.
Everything else is mere speculation.
You don’t want to be a fence sitter.
It’s healthy every now and then to make a firm decision and strike out in the direction of Action.
Keep what works, or discard.
Remember, it is all self-education.
You don’t have to create a masterpiece.
But you do have to create.
Be brave enough to start!
