Riding a bike is probably the most exhilarating feeling, especially if you are learning to ride or if it is your first time. Never in my wildest dreams ever thought that one day I will use the bicycle to motivate myself and my readers. If you get on the bike and you are not peddling, obviously you will fall, you need to keep moving for you to keep your balance.
It does not matter whether you are going slowly for as long as you do move backwards. One good thing about moving forward is that you learn along the way. You pick up new skills, meet useful people and learn from different people.
On the other hand, if you stagnate, you will miss out the benefits I mentioned above.
