Reading is important for personal and professional growth. Applying what you learn is a completely different skill set. This takes time and experience to fine tune. Unfortunately, concepts that designers and marketers read about don’t always fit like a lock and a key. Make it a habit to read multiple sources and speak with many individuals about the same topics. Take discussions and literature with a grain of salt. It is important to see multiple views so that you can formulate your own opinion. This is how you should apply what you read and put it to use in a real life situation.
