Mistakes are Fundamental to the Learning Process


What a great quote this is. We often chide ourselves for making mistakes no matter how big or small they are and although this is understandable, when you consider the kind of world we live in (competitive), I think we are missing the point.

What is the point?

Mistakes:

  • motivate us to try harder
  • show us how not to do a thing
  • bring us one step closer to completion 
  • help us to learn more about ourselves
  • keep our feet on the ground (humility)
  • cause us to be more creative
  • initiate growth within us because without growth we continue to make the same mistakes
 I could go on but the above are the 7 main positives of mistakes. Of course, in the same vein we could easily look at mistakes from the opposite point of view, in a negative way - but why would we want to do that?


Mistakes are the lessons of wisdom. Indeed!

Peace to you all. :)
