There's two ways to learn: passively and aggressively. Passively is when you study your mistakes, read the history of what you are learning, network, find your "tribe", find a mentor, etc. Aggressively is right when you are in the middle of it. You're neck deep and the ball is coming at you: what do you do? Passively is in your head. Aggressively is noticing RIGHT NOW and taking action. In your head is important. But ACTION is what creates heroes.
