"we learn to do by doing."- Spencer W. Kimball

This quote can mean many different things to many different people but to me it means that the only way we will learn is by doing. In other words you can learn through many other teqniques but the best one is by learning how to do it. For instance when we were kids, small 1 to 3 years old and we didn't know much about this world we had to learn how to get along with it. we had to learn how to breathe on our own and we did this by trying. I mean if we can learn how to breathe i think we can learn how to do almost anything. Before i would be scared or afraid to try new things because they were different and because i didn't  know how to do the things. i learned to not be afraid by learning how to face my fears of not knowing. in other words if i wouldn't try to learn how to do a certain thing then i would never be able to do anything. so what Mr. Kimball is trying to say is that the only way we will learn how to do something is bey doing it. So...next time you want to learn how to do someting try to do it. Show yourself that you can learn by being your own teacher by teaching yourself how to learn.
Example: i didn't know how to swim before intill i tried. My friends taught me how to trust myself and the simple teqniques on swimming. i'm glad i learned how to swim. it's true the only way i learned to swim was by swimming.
