I was one of the first few cohorts at the first "coding bootcamp" by Shereef Bishay called Dev Bootcamp.

This was the first skill they taught us and they told us the exact same thing.

"You are in the business of learning, learning fast is going to be your greatest skill."

Another insightful principal that I am reminded of often.

"Businesses rarely fail because of a specific technical hurdle, more commonly they fail because the team fails."

This was back in 2013, he was spot on with almost everything he taught us.
