D. Experiment
Experimenting is critical for learning.
Try things out. See if it works. If it does, you learn. If it doesn't, you still learn.
You remember 100% of what you learn by experimenting.

C. Learn - But Act On It ... Execute
You learn the most, not by reading, but by doing. You cannot learne Swimming by reading a book. You have to dive.
Do something with what you learn.
See what wroks, and what doesn't.
Do more of what works.
That is how you build expertise, isn' it ?

Success in Your Career ...
Over the next 26 weeks I am going to post a Career A-Z for Success in Your Career, this is based on a presentation by Tanmay Vora (http://qaspire.com/). The presentation has ALLOT of good/common sense information in it ... that many of us have forgotten.
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own. An you know what you know.
You are the one who'll decide where to go" Dr. Seuss
Young Students/Professional (i.e. YOU) are the future of our business, economy and our organizations.
Getting a "job" is not the destination. It is the beginning of a journey.
The journey of growth. The journey of becoming. The journey of expressing yourself in your area of work.
The goal of this presentation ... To help aspiring students and professionals in navigating through the complexities of this wonderful journey.
