from concept to application. why is it that it is so easy to understand things but learning (applying) is difficult? do you have to reach the lowest low for you to learn from an event or situation? is experience always the best teacher?

When you understand things, you can follow it when someone else is doing it, but when you learn or apply, it's difficult because you have to pick up out if your brain what you learned and seek the brain power to apply the knowledge. It's always harder when it's your turn.

That must be really confusing, but I think it's true.

Your question is incomprehensible.

1.) What "gap" is there between understanding and learning anyway? When we learn, it is implied that we understand what we are studying and so one is not separate from the other. If you have no understanding than you can't learn.

2.) "Learning" does not mean "applying". These words are not synonyms.

3.) Experience is not always a teacher. You don't learn how to do everything simply be experience, you need to be guided or taught to do some things. We do not just experience the front crawl or breast stroke. Someone teaches us this. We do not just experience playing chess, someone has to tell us the rules and show us how to play or we must read about how to play.

4.) You have asked a question that is not only ambiguous but used words to mean things that they do not mean. You should give us an example of what you mean because otherwise it really is just a guessing game.

5.) I am guessing that you are talikng about learning from a mistake - like drinking too much or doing drugs or something that you got burned from. And that you actually did not learn your lesson and you did it again. Or something like, you know you should not eat too much but you do it anyway. Anyway this is about discipline and not learning or understanding or even teaching.

I've been asking myself this exact same question for years and I really wish that I had the ability to give the best answer your question deserves. Honestly, I'm still asking myself and many other people the same question. I've gotten alot of good answers but still not convinced. Experience can be the best teacher, but I wish there was a book of directions that we can buy to guide us to where we need to go and get us out of confusion. Hopefully, you and I find the answer we're looking for. Good Luck.

to understand is to have the knowledge to fulfill the act. To learn is to apply your understanding and go for by use of action. Learnin is ur end product of understanding a process
