On Making Mistakes
The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually to be fearing you will make one.
–Elbert Hubbard
We all make mistakes, and some people take it much harder than others. I suppose there are some people who just get used to making mistakes. But the goal is not: ”never make a mistake again!” but rather to learn from each mistake.
Stories of scientists and inventors abound telling us of failures. Yet many times these same failures turn into the seeds of new inventions and discoveries. Success is the fruit of their mistake.
We start to make mistakes at a very young age. Each experience, including mistakes, turns into a learning opportunity. Take your next mistake, and learn something from it.
