How Do You Learn Without Practical Experience?

By: Shazad

How is it possible that you can learn something without personal experience? It’s not possible to learn to ride a bike or fly a plane just by reading a book. There are definitely times when you need to immerse yourself into something to learn it and perform at a high level.

Many things like leadership, photography, and nutrition can be learned through books combined with practical experience. You need some knowledge or background to start your journey but then it’s up to you. You need to actually practice what you learned and expand on it otherwise, you haven’t really learned anything useful.

It can be painful to learn by doing and making some mistakes but the impact of this kind of learning is much more profound.  Nothing beings doing combined with some wisdom and notes.  Don’t wait for someone to give you a job or contract to get the experience. Use your every day routine to practice some aspect of the skill you are trying to learn.

Now get out there and get some experience doing things in the classroom of daily life!
