"経験のない理論は盲目であり、経験のない理論は単なる知的遊びにすぎない。"

Immanuel Kant

Simplified Meaning:

When you go through something but don't have a good understanding of why things happen, it can be hard to see the bigger picture. Imagine trying to fix a car without knowing how it works; you might make things worse despite your effort. On the other hand, if you only study how car engines work but never get your hands dirty, you won't be able to actually fix an engine when it breaks down. For example, a doctor who only reads medical books but never treats patients won't be very effective. Similarly, another doctor who sees many patients but hasn't studied enough could miss important details. For someone to be really good at their job, they need both the knowledge and the real-world practice. In life, it's important to learn from both doing things and understanding the reasons behind them. If you want to be a skilled cook, you need to cook regularly and also learn why certain ingredients work well together. This combination will make you more confident and successful.
