What do people do to learn business? Some do MBA, some read heavy books. Someone watches videos on YouTube for hours. And even after all this, when we step into the real world, it seems that the most important things were not taught anywhere. Such as how much one should trust one’s partner, how to run a business with less money, how to present one’s views in front of a superior and how greed ruins everything.
No syllabus teaches these things. It takes real stories to learn this, and there are some movies that do just that. These are not made just for entertainment, they contain the real understanding of business which you will not find in books. While watching these, you are not just watching the film, you start thinking what would I have done if I had been in that place. And this thinking propels you forward.
