The ore is already in the mountain. Mining is going back in and pulling it out on purpose, instead of just walking past it.
Learning works the same way.
In the gym, you don't grow muscle from moving the weight itself. You grow from noticing what the last rep taught your body, and adjusting the next one because of it.
