When you make a mistakebig or smallcherish珍惜it like it is the most valuable thing in the world

Most of us feel bad when we make mistakesThat is only naturalmost of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are badand that we should try to avoid避免mistakesWe've been blamed when we make mistakes at homeschool and work

Yet without mistakeswe could not learn or grow

If you think about it that waymistakes should be cherished anti celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the worldthey make learning possibleand they make growth and improvement possible

Think about how you learnyou don't just read about paintingor writingor computer programming...and know how to do them right away

Insteadyou get information about somethingfrom reading or from another person or from watching carefully...then you have a model in your mind...then you try it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise修改the model...and repeatmaking mistakeslearning from those mistakesuntil you have learned how to do something

Mistakes ate how we learn to do something new--because if you succeed in somethingit is probably something you already knew how to doYou haven't really grown much from that success--at most it is the last step on your journeynot the whole journeyMost of the journey was made up of mistakesif it is a good journey

So if you value learningif you value growing and improvingthen you should value mistakes

Cherish your mistakesSmile
