“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BUT KNOWING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS WISDOM” Explanation: This quote highlights the distinction between simply possessing knowledge and understanding the limits of that knowledge. While knowledge can empower individuals to make informed decisions and take action, true wisdom involves recognizing gaps in one’s understanding and being open to learning more. This self-awareness allows for better decision-making, effective collaboration, and continuous growth. Example for Entrepreneurs: An entrepreneur might be highly knowledgeable about their product and industry. However, if they fail to acknowledge their lack of expertise in areas like marketing or finance, they may struggle to grow their business. By recognizing what they don’t know, they can seek advice from experts, hire professionals, or invest in learning opportunities. This humility and willingness to learn not only enhances their business acumen but also drives their company’s success. Example for School Students: A student may excel in science and mathematics but feel uncertain about their writing skills. Instead of dismissing their struggles, they acknowledge their limitations and seek help from teachers or peers. By recognizing what they don’t know and taking steps to improve, they enhance their overall academic performance and build confidence in their abilities. These examples illustrate how acknowledging the limits of one’s knowledge can lead to greater wisdom and success in various fields. #KnowledgeIsPower #Wisdom #ContinuousLearning #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth #LifelongLearning #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Education #CriticalThinking #EmotionalIntelligence #ProfessionalDevelopment #MindsetMatters VOLT Education Abhishek Jain Smita Mishra

Theory vs. Experience: Lessons from the Trenches 📚 There’s a popular saying that “experience is the best teacher.” While I believe strong theoretical foundations are essential, my journey in business has shown me the immense value of learning through real-world challenges. Unlike my brother Amit Gupta, who excelled in the structured world of IIT learning from theories, I dived into my father’s business. This hands-on approach to working under his guidance taught me invaluable lessons. Here are a few things that I have learned from my journey:  🔷 Cash is king: Maintaining a steady cash flow is crucial for business survival. 🔷 People power: Our employees are the backbone of any organization. 🔷 Patience pays off: Calm and thoughtful decision-making often yields the best results. 🔷 Lifelong learning: Curiosity and a willingness to adapt are essential for success. Every challenge has been a learning opportunity. The combination of practical experience and theoretical knowledge has been instrumental in my growth 📈 #BadriGroup #Leadership #TheoryVsExperience #BusinessLessons #Entrepreneurship #Learnings #LinkedinLearning #SuccessMindset #Motivation #Inspiration

College Degree or Not: The Key is Lifelong Learning As I reflected on some of the greatest figures in history—leaders, innovators, philosophers, and humanitarians—I realized something profound: Success doesn’t always require a college degree. ✅ For much of human history, there were no degrees. Yet, people achieved incredible things through curiosity, self-learning, and mastery of their craft. ✅ Of the people I looked at, around 39% had a formal degree, while 61% did not. Yet, their contributions shaped our world in incredible ways. ✅ What truly set these individuals apart was their commitment to learning and applying what they learned. Whether through formal education or self-directed learning, they mastered their fields through consistent practice. ✅ What matters most is the value you bring. Success is not defined by your degree but by your dedication to growth and results. #LifelongLearning #SuccessMindset #Education #GrowthMindset #LinkedInInsights #Entrepreneurship

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥: 𝐀 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠   Walking into my first classroom at Harvard Business School at 43 was surreal—a moment that symbolized how far my journey had taken me. Enrolling in the Advanced Management Program was a milestone I never imagined as a 16-year-old who left school without qualifications.   I built my career through hands-on experience, starting my first recruitment business from a tiny office armed with just a phone and a Yellow Pages. Over time, persistence, adaptability, and a willingness to learn turned that small venture into a global enterprise. Yet, I knew there was still more to discover.   Harvard challenged me in new ways, surrounded by brilliant minds and diverse perspectives. But I quickly realized that my unconventional path—the lessons learned from every challenge and every success—added unique value to the discussions. My experience was my greatest strength.   This journey taught me that education isn’t confined to traditional routes. It’s never too late to learn, grow, and pursue the opportunities that stretch your potential. Your past doesn’t define your future—your determination does.   𝑆𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑜, 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑛.

🌍 Redefining Education and Success Ever come across the phrase, “This world is ruled by the uneducated”? 🤔 At first, it may seem harsh, but look closer, and you’ll see a hidden truth. Many of the world’s greatest minds didn’t follow the traditional education system. They might not hold prestigious degrees 🎓, but they are far from uneducated. What they possess is something far more valuable—real-world knowledge, unmatched passion, and the drive to turn their vision into reality. 🔥 Success wasn’t about a diploma, but about mastering a craft, staying relentless in the pursuit of their goals, and thinking outside the box. 🌱 This isn’t to undermine formal education; it’s simply a reminder that success isn’t one-size-fits-all. Being "educated" is no longer about a piece of paper—it’s about knowing your purpose, working tirelessly towards it, and making an impact that matters. 💪✨ Let's break free from the conventional definition of education and embrace the different paths to greatness. 🌟🚀 What do you think?

I completed three university qualifications and built a 6-figure business because of them. A lot of ‘gurus’ on LinkedIn say that “entrepreneurs don’t need a degree”, but… - I live where I want - I work on my own terms - I’m growing a business that excites me Just because I picked up the tools I needed to succeed at university doesn’t mean I didn't need the right mindset and hard work in the correct places: - Building discipline - Finding the right mentors and peers - Applying knowledge in real-life situations The “learn-test-grow cycle” is the only way to create meaningful change. Today, I approach challenges with confidence and competence. And my education journey isn’t even over yet. Why? Because I plan to grow my business even further! Who’s with me on this path of continuous learning and growth?

There is a big gap between school skills and life skills The brightest people in school are not likely to become the most successful in life. They are likely to become the most successful employees of the most successful people. Having better education does not necessarily mean you are better than others. School rewards people for their memory, life rewards people for their creativity and ability to solve problems. One day, what will save you may not be the things you learnt in schools but the values you've learnt outside a classroom. There is a big gap between school skills and life skills. It's time to live life at a new level; It's either you magnify your excuses or you magnify your skills. *A GLORIOUS WEEKEND TO YOU* #creativity #problemsolving #entrepreneurship #innovation
