Walk first and than You can run – “theory and practice”
If you are a big fan of Spongebob Squarepants, then you surely know that one episode of “Mrs. Puff, You’re Fired” (season 4), we are told that teachers in schools where learning to drive in fired for being incompetent because not successful in passing Spongebob 1,258,056 times the test. Instead, these schools send their best instructors who teach with military force. Rather than teach the theory, he immediately asked for Spongebob to practice. It was not practical to drive, but starting from the practice of crawling around the track, and then followed by a practice run, run, and so on. Here are excerpts of the conversation:
I: What are you supposed to be learning in my class?
S: How to drive, sir?
I: Affirmative. But before you learn to drive, you must learn to crawl. And then you learn to walk, and then you learn to run. But before you learn to walk, you must learn to crawl! I want you to crawl!
S: Sir, yes, sir!
In the end, Spongebob exactly adept at driving by using the cover although in the end (Sponge Bikini Bottoms destroyed the city) because it was driving with closed eyes is not permitted and violating traffic rules, is’nt it. Apart from the instructions that make no sense to learn how to drive with the beginning of crawling around the track, the concept of “walk before run” is one of the general guidelines in life. Also included for success.
And the concept itself could have a broad meaning. Like, learn the theory first before going into practice. Or, learn basic techniques first before continuing to the more advanced. or, try to lower the target first before higher.
Of course, there is no doubt that there are those fortunate or genius who could be an immediate success at high levels. However, whether consciously or not, basic skills in lower levels will also sometime they need. A horse, for example, from birth he was immediately able to walk (I am not sure if he has also been able to directly run or take time). But if one day his legs hurt and unable to walk, yet he also had to crawl as well.
What about internet business?
Well, based on experience when meet with peoples that interested in internet business, I know that many who wanted to be an immediate success. They want directly earn 4 digits of dollars permonth without going to learn to make 1 digit permonth in advance. or, they want directly have keyword that 1 ranking in the super-competitive without wanting to learn how to optimize for keywords that are more lightweight competition first. or, they want to be able to make their sites visited by 1.000 visitors perday without wanting to learn how to bring 10 visitors perday at first.
Success is not easy. But when successful, things will undoubtedly become easier.
