Sep. 16, 2005 - BORROWED WISDOM: MISTAKES

 

'Many of us grow up thinking of mistakes as bad, viewing errors as evidence of fundamental incapacity. This negative thinking pattern can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, which undermines the learning process. To maximize our learning it is essential to ask: 'How can we get the most from every mistake we

make?' - Michael Gelb and Tony Buzan Lessons from the Art of Juggling

 

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down. - Mary Pickford

 

'The only man who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.'

Theodore Roosevelt
