Be prepared to be wrong

If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.

About regret

Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.

Victoria Holt

Don’t dwell in the past and think about your mistakes. This simple quote should remind you of what is important in life. Making stuff happen. Mistakes also happen, don’t worry too much.

Fail! I dare your! FAIL!

Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.

Julie Andrews

You need to experiment, you need to learn. Why would you succeed at the first time? You did not learn how to walk in one day after all. Learning how to walk is interesting anyway: You started as a toddler and gradually began to walk more upright. During this process you failed a million times, falling on the ground, crying, frustrated. But you kept going because, well, walking, right? And now look at you!

This is just one simple example of how not quitting gets the damn job done, whatever it may be!

Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.

Henry Ford

Failing is a very good teacher. It gives you feedback because you see what you mistakes cause. Next time you know more about the subject and can perform better.

That’s one point that distinguishes amateurs from professionals. Amateurs see mistakes as a flaw, professionals are happy to discover new insights by making mistakes and just train a lot more.

Have no fear

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make a mistake.

Elbert Hubbard

Constantly fearing to make a mistake will eventually push you into making the biggest mistake of all which is not doing anything. By doing nothing you become nothing and there’s nothing wrong about failing.

You are human, you are not supposed to know anything! Life is about learning and learning means being overwhelmed and then working your way through.

Be not afraid for life consists of mistakes! Go out there and enjoy them. Like I always say: Fail, try again, fail better!

Fail better!

Again I want you to fail! Fail often, fail good and start now!

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better

Samuel Beckett

Again: Make mistakes!

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.

Terry Pratchett

This is one of the most fundamental lessons of motivation in my eyes.

Make mistakes! Make a lot of them and enjoy every single one.

Making no mistakes should never be the aim for not making mistake involving not trying anything new. I pitty the people who never make mistakes for making mistakes is one the best things people can do in their free time.

So you say you are flawless

If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems.

Frank Wilczek

It is NOT good not to make mistakes.

Why? Because progress requires making mistakes and learning from them. If you don’t make mistakes, you are doing it wrong!
