GO OUT AND MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES

[Guest guest]

If you're not making mistakes, you're not doing anything. Action is

the only way to accomplish anything, and taking action will bring

mistakes. So often we try to hide our mistakes, and deny them even to

ourselves. Instead, we should take pride in the fact that we're out

there trying.

 

There is no better learning experience than making a mistake -- that

is, if you're willing to admit that you've done so. When you

acknowledge your mistakes, you have a better understanding of how to

proceed. After all, you have firsthand experience with what DOESN'T

work. That's valuable and useful knowledge.

 

All successful people constantly review their past actions and look

for ways to improve on them. Imagine that -- they're anxious to find

mistakes even in situations that are generally considered to be

successful. Does that tell you something about the value of mistakes

as a learning experience? As you continue to take action, and to

learn from the results of those actions, you develop a working

knowledge of how to be effective.

 

With this knowledge you can become whatever you want to be.
