Mistakes

by Clark Quinn

A few gems from his post:

He who fails fastest, wins.

A company celebrated not when the mistake was made, but when the lesson was learned.

Piet Hein is quotable here: “The road to wisdom? Well it’s simple to express: err and err and err again, but less and less and less.”

I don’t mind small mistakes.

He recited his experience where when a mistake was made, they’d fire someone, and think they’d solved the problem! [My emphasis]

When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

May I just add one more. If failure is the mother of success, small success is the father.

Manage your road with achievable milestones and celebrate each step on its way.
