If it is in your hands it is experience
Many people have joined Steemit and are zipping through blogs to comment and curate... but it leaves little satisfaction and or progress for them.
Most people skim the blogs instead of read and somehow believe they get the idea, especially on a how to accomplish type writing.
Skimming is fine as it helps the reader discern if it is of their interest or if it could help in a pursuit or mission. But once something of value is found will help you understand; how to perform and propagate an aspect or process to a very high degree, you will first need to fully read each word and phrase (I think a lost art these days), ponder them, play with them and then PRACTICE THEM.
So few people actually act on information they have just learned, yet they believe they can do it and succeed... or the believe that merely reading something, it has assimilated magically in their life. This brings about a false sense of self and a non existent sense of skill... which in turn they often pass on to others for a false sense of accomplishment.
But without taking that knowledge or information and putting it to work, it has no substance, no reality, no worth.
##An Example
I know the argument... the degree helps them get a job that can grow into a career. Well this argument is so wrong and we need to rethink and more importantly re-engineer the educational system. Now this is not a blanket statement as some degrees in colleges have work experience or apprenticeship involved, but really so many more do not. Graduates have learned only how to get in debt, they at least used to learn how to learn, but since the advent of computers and the internet, they have that skill already as a child.
##Experience
Get it out of your head and into your hands!
Live life, don't just think it.
