Experience, in and of itself, is a skill set of its own. In order to get experience you have to get experience. I can remember my efforts getting into the Pharmaceutical Sales Industry without knowing anyone who could vouch for my ability.
Learn the Ropes. Learn the ropes means to learn how to do something. Example of use: âOnce I learn the ropes at my new job, I wonât be so nervous and Iâll be very good at the work I do.â. Interesting fact. Not surprisingly, the origin of the idiom âlearn the ropesâ is nautical.
It occurred to me. It wasnât at school or in my career where I did most of my best learning. It was life. For me, the real meaning of learning lay not in a school classroom or office cubicle but, rather, in the life I am living. And, what about my 10 year old. Sheâs in grade 5. She has a lot to learn and is in the process of learning a lot at school right now. What does learning mean to her? When asked what learning means to her, she responded with a very predictable, âI donât know, Daddy.â So, because I hate an answer like that, it was time for a walk through the park and some quality daddy/daughter time. I asked again and again, in different ways, what learning meant to her.
