Philosophy & Methodology
Learn by doing...

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” — Hannah Arendt, German-American political theorist and philosopher.
“There is no way to help a learner to be disciplined, active, and thoroughly engaged unless he perceives a problem to be a problem or whatever is to be learned as worth learning, and unless he plays an active role in determining the process of solution.” — Neil Postman, American author, media theorist, and cultural critic.
“Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.” — Attributed to Confucius, Chinese philosopher and teacher.
“Learning is an active process. We learn by doing. Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.” — Dale Carnegie, American writer and lecturer known for personal development and communication skills training.
