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

I sometimes trip myself up by following the rules a little too closely. Being in business is as much about learning from others as it is about creating your own path, making your own mistakes, and learning from them.

“You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and falling over.”

Who said it:  Richard Branson

He is best known as the founder of Virgin Group. And I always remember him for his crazy antics, like when he ditched his hot air balloon in the ocean.

Why I like it:

Every now and then – well, okay, maybe a little too often – I get tripped up by following the rules a little too closely. Being in business is as much about learning from others as it is about creating your own path, making your own mistakes, and learning from them.
