It’s OK to Make Mitsakes
Do you remember when you first walked?
Your first word?
Your first sentence?
How frustrating it was when you wore your shoes for the first time?
Well, I bet you’re doing all of these things now on autopilot, and with perfection.
If you think about it, this is actually how you learned. How we all learn.
By making mistakes and learning from them, we evolve and become successful in life.
So why has our mentality changed?
Why is it not okay now to make mistakes?
Why are we ashamed when we make mistakes?
This mindset has come to us from our schooling system. As we progress through the grades, we’re told that it’s not okay to make mistakes.
We should aim to get full marks.
Straight A’s.
But guess what?
As babies, we didn’t all start walking at the same time.
Each one of us has their own journey.
Some learn faster than others.
So why do they teach us all with the same system in school?
