Hello everyone,

Quite a few years ago I began to repair computers. My wife said that what I was doing was “learning to repair computers”. But her words seemed to imply the idea that there were two quite different and separate processes in play: (1) learning to repair computers; and (2) actually repairing computers. She seemed to imply that I would do the first until I had mastered it, then I would stop and begin the second. In other words, I would continue “learning to repair” until I “learned to repair” and only then would I begin to “actually repair” computers. I knew what she meant but I didn’t see it that way. There were not two separate processes but one: I was learning to do something by doing it. There was no other way.
