This document contains a quote by Wole Soyinka, emphasizing the importance of observation in the learning process for any craft. The quote, "And I believe that the best learning process in any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others," highlights the value of studying the creations and methods of experienced individuals as a primary means of skill acquisition and development. It suggests that direct engagement with the output of others provides invaluable insights, practical examples, and foundational knowledge that manual or theoretical instruction alone might not convey. This perspective is particularly relevant in creative and technical fields where mastery is often achieved through a combination of practice and inspired emulation. The quote serves as a concise reminder that learning is not solely an internal process but is significantly enhanced by external observation and analysis of established or exemplary works within a given discipline.
