Do not ever fear mistakes 🙂

 Before I elucidate my point of why not fear mistakes, let me give you an example of failure. Chances are you are reading this article in a room with the use of lightening. Well, you can thank Thomas Alva Edison for that. Edison failed over 9000 times before perfecting the light bulb! In my opinion, Thomas Edison' s picture should be under the definition* perseverance*. After Edison invented and produced the light bulb a reporter asked him how it felt to fail 9000 times.Edison replied I was glad I found 9000 ways not to invent light bulb! 

Mistakes are the best teachers. Don't be afraid to try something new just because you don't think you will get it right the first time. Without mistakes you would not have any information about how to do better the next time. Each time you identify a mistake, you have learned something about your task.

Remember there are four steps in making an Action plan: -- A. Take action and make mistakes. B. Review the results and identify mistakes. C. Decide how to do better the next time. D. Go to the first step which is now the next time and make different mistakes.

The only really disastrous mistakes you can make is quitting after the first step. Mistakes help you eliminate wrong ways and guide you to the right way. With fewer mistakes you also have fewer chances of finding the right way to learn new skills and ideas.
