A Picture Speaks 1,000 Words

“I learned most of what I know from the school of hard knocks,” many entrepreneurs will quip when asked about their success. Some things can only be experienced, not learned from books or in the classroom.

I have known plenty garden-variety MBAs with a few years of experience who think they understand entrepreneurial businesses because they have successfully mastered case studies in a classroom. Yet, when the rubber meets the road in the ‘real’ world, they find out that they really didn’t know much of anything. Sometimes one must see it or experience it to understand.

I recently read about a new roller coaster ride in Ohio. This ride is one of the more innovative and challenging rides to experience. When trying to explain how exciting the ride is, I found it difficult. However, when I was able to get a few pictures of the ride, suddenly anyone that I showed these pictures to ‘got it’.

See for yourself….view the ride.

Yes, some things can only be fully understood by experiencing.
Ask any entrepreneur.

Example:
A new roller coaster ride recently opened in Ohio. It is hard to put into words how terrifying this ride could be.

Here are few pictures that help provide a visual on what it might be like to take a thrill ride on this machine.

The last picture says it all!
