Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.
The only way you learn is by doing. You learn through deed, so that's kind of my aspiration for the time being.
Learning cannot be disassociated from action.
However much you study, you cannot know without action. A donkey laden with books is neither an intellectual nor a wise man. Empty of essence, what learning has he whether upon him is firewood or book?
We learn by taking action and seeing whether it works or not.
Merely gathering knowledge may become the most useless work a man can do. What can you do to help and heal the world? That is the educational test.
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
Skill to do comes of doing.
