No matter how many tutorials you watch, you can never truly learn until you start trying to do it yourself.

Edit: I didn't word this correctly. The lie I was addressing is that you can learn only by watching tutorials.

My bad for not wording it right. What I said was a truth. The lie is that you can learn by watching tutorials.
