Wonderful advice from Aristotle
“Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it; men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp.” AristotleYes, exactly. We can’t learn to speak a language by just studying the books. To learn something we need to do it again and again. As you’ll hear me say from time to time: Practice might not make you perfect, but it will make you better!
