When Should You Stop Reading About It and Just Do It?

History class. 1st year at High School. The teachers name I’ve forgotten, I have no memory of her face.

The subject was Victorian Britain, the lesson was about children, as young as 5. who were forced to work done coal pits and mines.

I don’t remember what she said. I remember how she got us to never to forget.

For 20 minutes of the lesson she asked us to sit underneath the table.

We were to be Trappers, the name given to the children who sat in a cramped space for 18 hours a day, with no-one to talk to, no light and unable to move freely.

The first five minutes it was funny. The second five minutes it was uncomfortable. The third five minutes it was getting annoying. The last five minutes we were starting to complain.

And the lesson?

It’s stuck.

If you want information read books.

If you want to understand have experiences.

Same in 1st year history class.

Same in life.
