Mikhail Varshavski: “The number one way a child learns...is from taking risk…”

“… learns, and I specifically say child because it's the a time in our lives where our brain is most adept at learning. It's most excited to learn, ready to learn. The number one way a child learns...is from taking risk, from doing something bad, being corrected, from taking a jump and falling, from tasting a food and not liking it. So the more we get into this culture of too much safety, the less we're willing to experiment, the less we'll push our boundaries, the less we'll be successful.” (1:21:41–1:22:05)
