It's OK To Make Mistakes

For one reason or another, growing up we leaned that
making mistakes is a bad thing. (I could be wrong however
I think it starts in school.) In any case making mistakes is
the only thing that teaches you how to succeed.

When I started to learn how to ride a bike a fell of many
times until I mastered it. And that's exactly what Life is like.

As an Entrepreneur not only is making mistakes a good
thing — it's something that will help you succeed. As
Thomas A. Edison said: "I haven't failed 10,000 times, I
just found out what works."

When you adopt the mind-set that mistakes and failure
makes you more successful, you will be liberated from
something that keeps many people from being successful.

    the school system we have and is used around the world..was was creatrd to turn farmers into facrory workers ..or children of factory workers into more factory worker or higher level employees ..

    so you get tagh to go to a building and work from a cetain time to another time and ..condition to wait for bells to tell you when to take breaks ..and ask for permission to go the bathroom ..

    you don't want employees ..or well educated people like lawyers doctor accountants .. jumbo jet pilots .. scientist .. making mistakes ..so yu condition them against it in school

    now as a farmer mistakes where also bad because if you took a risk and lost your crop..you probably starved to death ..which is why so many people willingly headed into schools and factory work ..

    as someone who runs a business or lives by the hustle .. you learn from your mistakes and others mistakes and you learn how to make more profits ..mistakes and losses are part of it

  • We need to make mistakes to learn. That's why it's better to make all your mistakes early on than later in your career or business where the stakes are higher.

    An extension to this idea:

    Be willing to begin badly.

    So many people never begin because they're afraid of looking bad, or screwing up. But this is the only way to learn. You will never be fully ready. Just begin.

    You are right. Making mistakes is not bad or evil as some people see it. If you want to succeed, you must be ready to get your hands dirty by getting your hands at something and be ready to make mistakes and learn from your mistakes along the way. The greatest way to the top will be determined by how many mistakes you have made and learnt from over time. Fear of making mistakes has kept some people from getting their hands on projects.

    great article. i agree that school make a very bad system that teach people to afraid of mistake, and failure. but i think it does not start there. it starts at home. our parents are the one that put this mindset in us in the first place. of course, i do not mean every parents, but most parents do because they themselves have this poor mindset, and because they did not do anything to change their mindset, they transfer it right to their children.
    parents punish the child when the child does something wrong, they yell at the child when they do not listen to his command, and so on.
    and then the school does even worse job, they punish them for their mistake instead of encourage them to do better, they threaten them with fail class if they do not pass the test, or disobey the teachers or school rule, they just shape them into a mold, making them afraid of mistake.
    but now we have personal development program outside school and in forum to help people change again, i believe we can all be great mankind again
