Richard Branson Quote – learn by falling over

Learn by falling over

you don’t learn to walk by following rules, you learn by doing and falling over.

Interpretation

Often time people believe that following rules will help you to learn something. For example, at university or others educational system, you have to learn how to follow the rules in order to get good grade. This may eventually help you to find a job, However, educational systems truly lack on professional experiences.

Professional experiences teaches you a lot more than what you learn from education. It simply allow you to try out in the real world and from trying out you will make mistakes. These mistakes will teach you what to do and what not to do which will give you the experience you need. The more you attempt something, the more you learn and then the more you have potential to be successful.

Building a business is all about learning by falling over and no university can teach you the skills to become one. So you have to find out everything by yourself and when you find it you may eventually run your business successfully.
