Mistakes are an essential part of the learning process and in this post, you will find my fav quotes about mistakes and learning from them.
No one was ever born knowing everything. From our first day in this life, we start learning with persistence despite our mistakes. Firstly, we learn to walk and speak as babies and our life goes on. And, this process of learning never stops as we deal with everyday challenges. Thus, the important part of this journey of life is not about avoiding all kinds of mistakes.
A mistake means making an error and it’s inevitable to make some mistakes. I guess the most important is to avoid the fatal ones. But for the other mistakes that don’t contain some kind of fatality, the crucial point is not to give up. If we learn from it and continue to try, we may turn the tide and finally succeed. In the end, if a mistake stops us, we will never know what we are capable of.
