What do you do when you make a mistake? What should you? This nifty post gives you an idea.
What do you do when you make a mistake or fail?
If you were me, you would hate yourself, wish it never happened and try so hard not to talk about it. Sometimes, that will prevent you from doing something great again.
If you are nodding your head right now, I have a word for you.
Do not beat yourself…
The microwave was a sizzling accidental discovery during a radar test. Sticky notes came out of a failed strong-adhesive project. The potato chips was an attempt to annoy an extremely fussy customer. The penicillin was a result of an accidental culture inoculation, and the x-ray and corn flakes were also accidental discoveries.
Do not take yourself too seriously. Seriously. Okay, I meant, do not beat yourself too much.
Rather, take a second look at your mistakes or failures. You may learn something phenomenal.
Take a second look.
You may learn something phenomenal.
