When we try not to make mistakes, we avoid all risks and, eventually, we become paralyzed by a fear of failure. Thus we cease doing anything that could fail.
This is the greatest failure of all.
Success is not avoiding making mistakes. It is to venture and risk and make mistakes, but only to make the mistake once.
Mistakes are valuable when we take them, examine them, and learn from them.
Otherwise, they’re useless and very harmful. Take hold of your mistakes and figure out why they happened and use them to make yourself better.
