The transcription discusses the idea that making a decision is not the same as taking action. It uses the example of five frogs on a lily pad, where one frog decides to jump off but hasn't actually done it yet. The message is that there are two types of learning: studying and doing. The speaker emphasizes the importance of taking action and learning by doing rather than just accumulating knowledge. They encourage the listener to continue learning and planning for the week ahead. Here is a pop quiz. Ready? Five frogs sit on a lily pad. One decides to jump off. How many are left? If you answered four, then your math skills are just fine. Unfortunately, this is not a math problem. It's a life problem. The correct answer is five. Yes, all five are still sitting on the lily pad. That one frog only decided to jump. He hasn't actually done it yet. Jeff Olson illustrates for us in The Slight Edge, and I just love this reminder. Plenty of people invest a good amount of time and effort accumulating knowledge, making themselves busy and excited about a new plan. But there are two kinds of learning. Learn by study, which includes books and listening to audios and attending classes, and things like doing. At Fit Body, we are here to help you do. You'll hear us prompting you at every turn, let's go, let's roll, and let's get started. We believe in learning by doing, and we are really excited that you have been doing that all week. You don't have to worry about perfection because you're learning. Congratulations on your entire week of learning and doing this week. May your weekend be filled with fun, more learning, and planning for the week to come.
