“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I was listening to a health podcast when I heard that calcium makes bones stronger once they carry weight.
The link between learning and doing came to mind: what you learn builds a skill only once you try to use it.
Carbs pack extra fuel into a muscle once exercise drains it.
Protein builds muscle after training tears the muscle.
Books, podcasts and classes are like calcium, carbs and protein. Each one needs to be paired with something else to work.
All beer distributors in Boston turned down Jim Koch when he started Samuel Adams in 1984.
So each morning he filled his briefcase with ice packs and six beers then walked into bars to pour samples.
He had three Harvard degrees and had never sold anything. 20 bars a day taught him how to sell. One bar at a time, Samuel Adams grew into a $3 billion company.
What you learn builds a skill once you try to use it.
