The only way to learn is to do... Hello reader! Recently I gave insights as to how one can get better after an adverse situation . If you haven't read that and want to know more, click the link! Let's get straight down to the topic because this post is all about doing! What makes practicality an important aspect of learning? Why is it always even more important than just learning something in theory? Let's find out. Acting upon something creates real-time problems.
