Do you know how to do it?

Is that the question you ask yourself whenever you try doing something? Is that the question you are asked by people around when you throw an idea? 

I suggested to a colleague this morning that I'm gonna try making a jingle for an upcoming pitch. He asked, "Do you know how to do it?"

I find this question on someone's 'knowing' rather discouraging. Condescending too.

A baby doesn't know how to take the first step. It just does it. Because it wants to. It learns. It runs. It plays. It has fun.

When musicians jam, they often do not know how the song would turn out. But they do it nonetheless. And we enjoy those songs, history unbeknown.

Who knows much anyway? The reason, much has not been done coz the question of 'knowing' often precedes 'doing'. For me, there's no precedence. Knowing and doing happen simultaneously.
