Theories or Experiences?

Advice from an uncle who is one of my father's mentor.

He gave an example which is very meaningful to life. As a consultant, you only have theories and more theories to prove this and that. But in actual fact, even if these works you do not have the actual techniques in doing the things. For example, a lake which is full of fishes were waiting for people to catch. An unexperienced person went down to catch fish. The consultant came and tell the unexperienced to use this and that theory to catch. After a day's work, the uneducated got home with a load full of fish whereas the consultant only got 2 fishes from the unexperienced. Even though the consultant came and gave theories on catching fish, he did not dare to venture into catching one on his own as he is not daring enough to go down into the water. This means that sometimes after all these work, consultant is just another one with theories and no experience, yet the unexperienced person would had all the techniques and experience in catching fishes and the next time he want to catch a fish, he would not need the consultant anymore. Therefore, this tells us that sometimes studying more would not get you far. Experience does, look at Bill Gates, Mr Sim or anyone in the rich list. Anyone of them works as a consultant?

So DON'T always think that theories work or study 'si' (dead) books. Get real experiences before you come and argue with/teach people with your so-called theories. Theories forms only the basis. Experiences get us to the objectives.

I hope what I publish is making sense to you all.
I should shut up and listen to people next time. Theories dun always work.
