Four steps that everyone has to take.

Those steps are :
1) Action
2) Tactic
3) Strategy
4) Philosophy

Every human being begins going through these steps from birth,and goes from step 1 through 4 according to the intrinsic abilities that is inherent in everyone.
Learning is to smooth the course and boost up the speed of the pace of going through.
