There are loads of ways to learn something. Everybody chooses the variation that is best for him, according to THEIR personal point of view. The process of learning something is quite a complicated one. It requires patience, CONSISTENCY and THE DESIRE TO LEARN new things.
I PERSONALLY believe, that the best way to learn something NEW is by doing it. You can never be absolutely sure OF the VALIDITY OF SOMETHING if you have not tried it yourself.
I can not be sure if that goes for all OF the people, but for me it it definitely so. I learn something when I HAVE already done it myself, otherwise no one could convince me that it is the right or wrong thing to do. An advice is always welcome, but still in order to make the FINAL decision, I have to be absolutely sure in what I do and how I do it.
To read about something is also a good way TO LEARN. Of course, that is true only if the written statement or whatever, is produced by someone I trust, or someone who is already proven to be a specialist in a certain area.
The most unreliable source of learning information, is by hearing it from someone else. Often there are LOTS of rumours, totally untrue and obscure, which could influence one's decision in AN INCORRECT way. Sometimes the statements of the people are prejudiced and THEY don't TAKE INTO considerATION the real facts. Personal opinion has nothing to do with facts, that is what a great part of the people DO NOT understand. If one could value things, without considering the personal opinion, that would be great. But unfortunately it is not possible, or the least not very often.
I could give an example of why the best way of learning something is to experience it yourself.
A year ago I had a decision to make. It was a very important one. All OF my friends and acquaintances were TRYING TO CONVINCE me that what I was about to do was the wrong thing. But I WAS NOT sure. So I DID NOT follow their advice, and did what I thought was right.
In a while it turned out that it was a good thing that I did what I wanted to,BECAUSE if I HAD NOT done it I just would NOT have known that it was the right thing to do. So I AM very glad THAT I ACHIEVED SUCCESS BY listening to my inner voice.
That is WHY I firmly believe that one should experience something in order to learn it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
