How great deeds are born
On January 25, 2009, in Total leadership, by Neculai Fantanaru

Have you watched the fourth part of the movie Indiana Jones? It's an exceptional movie which I recommend you with all my heart. A line from the movie draw my attention in a special manner. In a certain moment, Indiana Jones together with his son entered by accident with a motorcycle in a library and overturns. Before continuing his way, a student recognizes Indiana (who was one of his professors) and asks him about a certain model of culture by Hardgrove. Because the russians were after him and he had no time to loose, Indiana Jones answers quickly to the student: “Forget Hardgrove… If you want to be a good archeologist, you got to get out of the library.”

Theory assimilates only by practice

I suggest you to fallow Indiana Jones's advice: take action, don't lose your time staying with your nose in the books. You will never succeed in becoming a true leader, in making big things, worthy of the attention and the admiration of all people, if you are not willing to spend much time on the field. From books you can find out a lot of things but you only can obtain results by putting them in practice.

Think about any famous realisation, made by a single man or a group of people. Think about Kheops's pyramid. You don't have to search for information to figure out that, in order to build this kind of monument kept for eternity were needed more than some solid technique knowledge. It was needed to put in practice the theory, the plans which were conceived very meticulous by specialists. Besides, no valuable creation could have been accomplished if people would have used only the theory.

Using in practice your knowledge offers you the best opportunity to transform your dreams in reality and to achieve your goals. And the most ambitious your goals are, the more you need to practice. In the end, you have to get involved with more conviction and to make a remarkable physical effort if you truly want to achieve something. You could accomplish your purposes only if you are willing to get involved with more diligence in the practical work on the field.

Napoleon Bonaparte, who spent a long time on the battle field, said: ”It's not enough to know people from books in order to study them, you have to live with them.” Napoleon's success is due to the fact that he put in practice his knowledge, his valuable ideas from the books of those times. But studying books was for the king of France the start in developing his abilities and competences of a leader. In order to win a battle he had to leave the comfort zone and to fight many times in the first line with the infantry.

Napoleon could have never gained a battle and could have never become a military genius if he would have remained only with the… theory.
