Very accurate statement. I owe a lot of gratitude to a friends dad that made us car guys THINK constantly in his presence (Thank you Mr. Millsap!).

Educate yourself on what you plan to work on.
Research & think about what you're trying to accomplish, then do it.
If you fail, figure out & understand why; then do it again making sure you overcome your previous failure.

Getting your hands dirty, correcting the failures, & pushing forward definitely builds momentum which feeds your confidence ultimately improving your skills.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
