- Reading books and attending courses is not enough to learn and acquire new skills. You need to practice what you learn in order to internalize it.
- The more you do something, the more you reinforce your learning and build up new skills.
- It is better to start doing something at a low cost and scale, than to wait until you have everything perfect.
- If you want to be ambitious, you can start a business or assume a senior role from where you are.
- The best time to start doing something is now.
The author also provides two real-life examples to support his claims:
- One example is of a former colleague who read books all the time but never practiced what he learned. As a result, he was unable to deliver on his promises and was not trusted by his managers.
- Another example is of the author's own experience in college. He found that the lab and workshop classes were more useful than the theoretical courses, because they taught him how to apply what he was learning to real-world problems.
The author concludes by saying that the greatest gift that successful people have is their ability to take massive action. He encourages readers to start doing something today, even if it is just a small step.
