10 Monkeys in a room, one ladder with a banana on top. Every time a monkey tries to climb the ladder he gets sprayed with a fire hose. Soon, no monkey will climb the ladder. Now start swapping monkeys. First you will have 9 monkeys who were sprayed with water and 1 that has not. When the new monkey tries to climb the ladder the other 9 will keep him from it. Soon the new monkey will not climb the ladder. Amazing right? But it gets better!
If you swap out the other 9 monkeys slowly over time you will soon be left with 10 monkeys who have never been sprayed with water, but will not climb the ladder and get the banana. None of them know why!

Learn from the EXPERIENCE of others, but don’t believe their ASSUMPTIONS.
If you put in the work and know “what to use” and “what to lose”, you just might discover it’s ok to climb the ladder. 😉
