One of the best ways to learn is to learn directly from someone.  Books are a wonderful source of knowledge, but they are not enough.  If they were, the teaching profession would be non-existent.  It is quite a privilege to be able to seek advice from an expert in the field.

You must not think that experts are expensive.  More often than not, you can gain from their expertise without any cost.  These are your friends, neighbors, acquaintances, parents and grandparents.  Quite often, the experts are most willing to lend a helpful hand.  Think about it.  If you are using the computer, as I am, you most likely did not learn how to work on it through books.  More than likely, you were taught by a friend or a family member, and you are possibly seeking computer guidance even now, as I am.

It is quite senseless to not seek expert advice.  If you have never purchased a house, why not seek advice from someone who has purchased one?  If you are going to travel to a different country, why not find out about the country from someone who lives there or has visited it?  If you are learning a new language, why not speak with someone who speaks it well already?  And if you have to pay for the expert advice, it is well worth it.

Whether seeking worldly advice or spiritual guidance, expert advice is a God's gift.  With guidance in all walks of life, we can work more effectively and make more of the little time we all have in this world.
