The point - and the relevance to this forum - is that it is about training to fly airliners for a living, not about jolly days out in little planes showing Mummy what fun it all is.
Don't get me wrong, there's still room for a passion for flying, but never forget that this is a profession, not a hobby. The licencing and training procedures are not there for your enjoyment, they are there to prepare people to do a job of work; nothing more nor less. By all means go and fly for fun, and learn appropriately. This forum is not about that process.
