Original quote by Felix Colgrave - Animator and inadvertent motivator.
"Good. If you learn animation in an academic context, it’s often taught with a lot of arbitrary dos and don'ts that are a hangover from old industry methods. More concerned with teaching formulas than helping you cultivate a genuine understanding. Familiarising yourself with the medium and experimenting with it before anyone else has influenced the way you approach it, will harbour an uninhibited relationship with what you’re doing, and you’ll develop working methods that are informed by your current creative processes."
I think this can be applied in a more general sense by changing a couple words.

So what do you think?
Of course in some fields of study and work having a 'to the book understanding' is required but I believe Felix encapsulates how to form the best foundations for creative people.
