People are always afraid of making mistakes. But
sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, a mistake is
a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new
things, because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never
try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is:
“you can’t” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying
new things.
Another good thing about
mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. For example,
Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked
how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000
times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a
mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you
should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a
mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make
mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think
them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We
shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them
correctly, because our time and money are limited(有限的)
There is an old saying, “if
you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and
make mistakes. And learn, and grow, and succeed.
