What to do when you don't know what to do.

So what? Someone / something has stumped you. What now?

When I was learning about digital photography, I understood the basics, but still had many questions. "What would this do?" So basically, I tried it. Sometimes it was an interesting result, other times...not so much. I am of the mindset that most learning is done hands on. Individually, you come up with a "real world" scenario...not something that has been planned to trick you. Then, you have to find a solution for that same scenario. You may screw up, but I will guarantee you will never knowingly create that mistake again. Often times with traditional education, there may be some issues applying what you learn in a lecture-based environment. That is why I have come to the conclusion that for me, a hands-on experience is the best way to obtain and apply knowledge.

Agreed. Life is about the experiences whether good or bad intentional or not; the best lessons learned are the ones that we go through in order to obtain the lesson.

And sometimes its cool to be able to say "well here is what i experienced when...and i learned for myself that..."
