Some people are so afraid of making a mistake that they let this fear paralyze them into inaction. What we have to remember is that life is all about making mistakes–and learning from them! If you’re not out there making mistakes, you’re not growing. It’s impossible to be creative, innovative or achieve progress without making mistakes. So, the next time you’re confronted with the possibililty of making a mistake, remember that it took thousands of mistakes to put a person on the moon. It also took Thomas Edison 3000 failed tries before he invented the electric light bulb. The old adage is true: There is no such thing as failure–only the failure to try.
