Years ago I noticed a confusion between learning and doing. Almost a self-prescribed line in the sand between the two.
You could learn OR you could do.
The geniuses of that time (and yes, of this time, too) are the one’s who make it an AND statement.
They leap over the line their fear has drawn for them.
Is it good to read a book and learn something new? Sure.
Is it better to read a book and apply what you learned in a way that’s generous to others? Certainly better, right?
Like most fear-drawn lines, the more we leap over them, the better.
Worth remembering, though, that in due time the line will get moved again and will require you to leap in a new way.
Stay Positive & That’s How Progress Is Made
