Out of Practice

Curiosity is a sign of a healthy mind – as long as it is of course limited by the margins of the good sense. But have you ever seen something and then try to make it yourself because you thought "it can't be that hard, in fact it looks so easy!"

Well I did try that …several times. As Murphy's laws say…there is nothing as easy as it seems. There is always something that can come up as the "surprise" element or the unexpected detail. However, once you started practicing and doing a certain thing over and over again, you might have encountered just about all those things that could eventually go wrong. That's why, you know now what to expect and you certainly can give a piece of valuable "hands on" advice when the case.

But another thing happens; if you interrupt your practice for a long time, a few years for instance, when you have to return to the same thing you realize you have lost much of your dexterity with that certain action. For instance, if you are a piano or violin player, you need to keep practicing so as to not lose your skill. It is the same with nursing. The knowledge you once had about all diseases is forgotten without practice and the good old proverb "if you don't use it, you lose it" is checked once again.

Everything has a starting point but when it comes to practice, everyone wants to go to the most experienced although they are not necessarily the best option every time. For instance I have just been to a dentist to have my teeth cleaned, this was a dentist with good years of experience while my brother went to a student; I must admit that the student's job was much better! Why? Because he was more meticulous, was a beginner and wanted to do a good job while the older doctor…well…whatever, might have been in a hurry.

Experience however has its obvious pluses and no one can contest that. Of course it brings best results when you keep up the quality of your work and not only look at the numbers…which reminds me…I am going to another dentist next time, or more exactly to my brother's dentist – the student.

See more about practice in some thought provoking quotes:

Intellectual Development Foundation (IDF) is spreading intelligence more effectively and efficiently to everyone much better than all the institutions and universities that graduate students with degrees and diplomas. IDF's method of teaching appears to make formal education meaningless and has caused much emotional stress to the leaders of the teaching institutions.

Here is the document released by IDF:

Set all books on fire because no knowledge in them can be repeated and no knowledge in them should be repeated. Do not listen to your teachers or pastors, or mom and dad because none of their knowledge can be repeated and none of their knowledge should be repeated. But, do not forget to buy our books because we need your money. Do not forget to send your children to our schools and colleges, because we need your money. Listen to us, because we want you and your children to be our employees, slaves.
