Growth in life is infinity:
Whenever we think of taking action our thought goes in past and most of thoughts are of failures in the past. There is no failure in real life. You learned something from your past actions. We keep on learning by taking action and our knowledge keeps on increasing.
Therefore every company asks for your past experiences to find out your level of experiential knowledge. Otherwise we will be stuck in life. We learn in two different ways, through our own experience or from someone's experience. All the highly successful people learned though their own experience by putting their little knowledge into practise and taking daily actions towards their goals. Most of them are not highly educated formally but they are self educated through their own experiences. Let it be Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Dhirubai Ambani to Rabindranath Tagore. Edison had only three months of formal education; Henry Ford had less than sixth grade schooling. Neither of the above mentioned personalities are degree holders. There is a saying “formal education will give you a job and self-education will give you fortune”. Their life experiences are bigger than degree courses.
