Validation By Mistake

I have heard people say that they hate making mistakes because it shows weakness or lack of knowledge. My response has always been the same, mistakes make us better. They enhance your skill set and allow you to become more knowledgeable about your area of expertise.

When you make a mistake, you have to go back to figure out what went wrong. The next step is to find the resources available to you that will aid you to do better next time. This is the area where will see personal growth because your trajectory should/will change.

  • Mistakes make you better
  • Mistakes open our eyes
  • Mistakes introduces you to new opportunities

The great thing about mistakes is that they allow us to learn something new that will make us better every day.
