The importance of Making Mistakes
A world without mistakes. Wouldn’t we all say that this is the ultimate attainable goal that we should strive for? Just imagine what would that would mean, a world without mistakes. What would that mean in our day to day life? That would mean a world without change. If there were no mistakes, then everything would be perfect. However, if everything would be perfect all the time there would be no chance for improvement, because we wouldn’t know what to improve. We would have a lack of information.
Mistakes are information
That’s precisely what mistakes are. Mistakes are a specific kind of information. Mistakes are pieces information that gives us hints on where we could look to improve things. This is why it is important to make mistakes. You only don’t make mistake when you’re static, when you stagnate, when you don’t grow and you’re dead. That’s the only possible way, in my reality, to make no mistakes. But life is dynamic, life is growing, life is ever changing. The more mistakes you make, the more information you have to improve. The more it means that you’re trying to get out there and you discover new stuff that you didn’t know before.
Make mistakes!
This is why I encourage all my employees to make as many mistakes as possible. The only thing I ask is that they do not repeat the mistakes much. What I ask of them is to see a mistake as it is, as a possibility to learn and grow and nothing more. All the bad emotions that comes in making mistake, this is something you learn in school, something that is not true so get over it. You need to make mistake in order to grow as a human being.
