It is good to make mistakes, and here's why.
__36___ It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve, how can you expand, and how can you innovate? The simple answer is “You can't”. ___37__ With very few exceptions, everything you see in your physical world is The result of someone trying something new. Every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. The chair you're sitting on; the fabric on the chair; the pattern on the fabric on the chair; the dye in thepattern on the fabric on the chair are all the direct result of someone trying something new.
___38__ Consider this: Edison failed l0 000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed t0 00~ times, but rather had learned I0 000
things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are that much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeed.
___39_
___40__ Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that, in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
There is an old axiom that goes, “if you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”
So go forth and make mistakes, and learn, and grow, and prosper.
A. First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.
B. Look around you.
C. Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning.
D. Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.
E. But this all doesn't mean that you should forge ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake.
F. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
G. Can you imagine how many mistakes were made before all of these individual materials and components were perfected and then assembled into the automobiles we know today?
