In every phase of life we pass through, there is always someone who has been in a similar situation. Therefore, the best way we can solve our challenges is by learning from the experience of others
There is an adage that says:
These words are so true in every aspect of life and perhaps, help us to cut long circles and waste time, this is why it is always important to seek knowledge from people who you may feel are more knowledgeable in that area.
Imagine yourself in a new environment or ecosystem where you don't know your way around, and you have to figure out how to get to your objective as quickly as possible. You have two choices: either figure out which path is faster on your own or ask those around you which route is safer and faster.

The faster way of doing this is by asking people accustomed to the system and moving to your destination; Simple and clear. This is why I advise people to learn how to build their interaction and communication skills because it can go a long way in building one's life.

One cannot depend on his knowledge to get quick solutions to problems simply because we cannot know it all. We need to know what people learned over time and the best way to do it is by building our interactive skills. Let me give you a quick example:
When it comes to Hive, for example, not everyone who joins the chain is familiar with how the system works. Many individuals believe it operates precisely like traditional social media, but the only way they can be corrected is to locate someone or something to assist them.
The more they interact with others in the chain, the more they begin to learn things differently, recognize what they have been doing incorrectly, and learn from the mistakes of others.
Now, you must have seen the word SOMETHING highlighted, this means that Hive on its own is a system full of experiences. We have resources readily available asides from that, we have people ready to help out.
The existence of what we refer to as DOCUMENTS, such as books, notepads, and the like, is due to the value placed on people's experiences, which must be documented. That is why we have so many technical developments today: the younger generation takes upon the knowledge and experiences of the older age in order to better it.

If these discoveries were not documented, there would be so many inventions today that many people would have to go back in time to figure out how they were made, causing technological developments to be delayed.

I believe by now, you must have gotten the main idea of this post. We should learn to treasure experiences as they hold shortcuts to success. Asides from that, we should not be ashamed to ask people questions, it doesn't mean we are dumb but expresses our wanting to know. There is a saying that: A man who is wanting to learn must first acknowledge what he doesn't know.
