"教育における大きな困難はアイデアから経験を引き出すことです。"
— George Santayana
Simplified Meaning:
Learning something new isn't just about understanding the theory or ideas; it's about turning those ideas into practical experience. Imagine reading a book about how to ride a bike. You can read all about balancing, pedaling, and steering, but until you actually get on a bike and ride it, you won’t really know how it feels or what it's like to balance. In the same way, education requires more than just textbooks and lectures. For example, medical students spend years studying human anatomy and diseases from books, but they must also spend time in hospitals, treating real patients to truly understand what they’ve learned. This hands-on experience helps turn theoretical knowledge into something they can use effectively in real situations. So, when you’re learning something new, try to find ways to practice it in real life. If you’re studying a language, talk to native speakers. If you’re learning to cook, make meals instead of just reading recipes. This approach helps deeply ingrain what you’ve learned and makes your education truly valuable.
