(Below from the book, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson)

Plenty of people invest a good amount of time and effort accumulating knowledge, but still end up living their lives on the failure curve. Why?

Because mastering the slight edge and moving onto the success curve is not only a question of the quantity of your learning but also the quality of your learning – and especially whether it includes any doing.

There are two kinds of learning: learning by study – which includes reading, listening to audios, and attending classes and seminars – and learning by doing.

All the study in the world won’t build your business, establish your health, create a rich and fulfilling family life, and make you a happier person. That takes your getting up and out of the chair and doing it.

Book smarts is not enough: all true success is built from a foundation of study plus street smarts. If you want to stay grounded and move ahead at the same time, you need a balance.

Do the thing and you shall have the power. The only way to have the power is to do the thing. Just do it. Learn by doing.

The journey starts with a single step – not with thinking about taking a step.
