People always understand the world via a model, although the model has never been the reality.  However, this is the only possible way we understand and change the world. See what Sanjay Ghemawat (the guy right of Jeff Dean) suggests to computer technologists:
1. learn by doing; build systems;

2. read about existing systems, in particular papers from systems and database conferences;

3. practice back-of-the-envelope calculations; some simple modeling can be an effective way to pick between different system designs.
