From the author: There is a difference between “knowing” and “doing” that is often overlooked. Often the question is not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of action. — Flying an airplane is easy! — Have you flown? — No, I read... Have you ever, while talking with an “expert” or just an acquaintance, and having expressed a useful thought, heard: “Yes, I I know that"? This causes mixed feelings. Recently, a colleague said in her hearts: “You explain, you explain what to do, and in response - yes, this is understandable, I know this, it’s simple, you give me something more complicated - I’ll understand.” Some are so accustomed to this that the feeling like a job well done, comes from recognition. A connection appears: I know = I did, it seems that it is not necessary to act later. The action seems to be something small and insignificant, something that will happen by itself, you just need to move the little toe of your left foot. And they also come to a psychologist, thinking to receive a portion of “magic information”, having learned that all difficulties will be resolved by themselves, the sun will shine in the sky, sadness will dissolve, scars will disappear, warts will fall off and then everything will always be fine, and with a guarantee! And they sigh bitterly when it turns out that there is no such information. And the arguments that you have to do something (even if simple and easy) seem somewhat seditious. Often the issue is not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of action. So what should we do? First of all, learn two simple things: Recognition is just preparation for future actions; The result is ensured only by actions; This does not mean priority of one over the other, it means that only together can the best result be achieved. At the same time, knowledge and actions do not necessarily go strictly one after the other; different options are possible. Let me give you an example: let’s say someone (maybe even you, dear reader), decided to publish an article, an observation on this forum, share an interesting thought, or simply ask for advice .It is likely that it is already somehow understandable to write, since such a thought has appeared. This is, so to speak, the first recognition. And then thoughts may appear: “Great! This is worth writing about! Then, somehow... It’s clear what this is about, I won’t forget.” That's all. It is unlikely that you will remember later what you wanted to write. This is the most difficult moment, because of which many sensible thoughts will never see the light of day. Here it’s worth at least making some sketches and writing them down. Let’s say you have some sketches and you have doubts about the spelling of words, punctuation marks, or how best to formulate some idea. Consequently, the text is put aside and relevant information is searched for. This is the second recognition. It’s easier here, since it’s clearer what needs to be done. And when everything is ready, there are also forum rules, a built-in editor and other things and functions that are also worth knowing about before publishing - this is the third recognition. The result will also be actions and posted information. In activities, it is useful to follow the rule: “Do you know? Do it! If you don’t know, find out.” Thus, by combining knowledge and actions, you can more easily achieve what you want. I wish you new knowledge and its successful implementation! Sincerely, Eduard Itskov
