Imagine yourself trekking through the forest. No phone, no GPS, and no guide. How would you know you're going the right away?

Perhaps you'd look for the nearest hill to climb. Hopefully you'll get up high enough to get your bearings. Then you would descend to the forest floor and continue the journey.

When you're in the thick of learning new things, remember to stop and climb the proverbial hill to get your bearings.
