Applying What Has Been Taught
Joe Holland 
      
4 months ago
I had a high school calculus and computer science teacher that I will never forget. He was intelligent and humorous...just like Richard. I still apply the things he taught me some 40 years later.Today I was going to post a question asking if it was possible to change the row source of a combo box based on the value of the NewRecord property on a form. Instead of asking, I just did it. A simple If Then statement based off the NewRecord value and a couple of SQL statements made it happen the first time I tried it. Richard, Alex, Kevin, and Sami regularly ask commenters if they tried it before asking. The sign of a good teacher is empowerment. Thanks for the POWER today.

I get asked how to do stuff all the time in YouTube comments - usually simple stuff that someone could easily figure out in 10 seconds. "Well, is this possible?" "Can you do that?" "What about this?" And I like to tell people, we'll just try it, you know, give it a shot and see because you'll learn better that way. Instead of always having to ask someone or look something up, just try it, tinker with it, play with it. That's how I learned, growing up.

I guess some people just don't naturally have that curiosity and desire to play with stuff and tinker with it. In fact, I put together a whole video on this topic (Try it Yourself), and I just forward people there sometimes. And once in a while, someone gets really mad at me. "What, you can't just tell me the answer?" I'm like, no, I am not Google. I'm here to teach you how to do this stuff, not do it for you.

I agree 100%. I remember trying to do something years ago (can't remember what, my memory's not that good) over 3 days and it took me the third day for that eureka moment to strike. I though, 'I wonder if that will work'. I tried it and it did. You always get a bigger sense of achievement if you can figure it out yourself.
