90% of what can be learned can be learned by watching, reading and thinking.
The remaining 10% can only be learned by doing. By making the mistakes yourself. By pushing boundaries.
Of course, the percentages aren’t accurate, but the point remains: You’re gonna have to fail to learn 100% of what you need to learn to be successful in your trade.
Stay Positive & Might As Well Fail Early And Fail Often
