I somewhat joke that I know an awful lot because I learn from my mistakes. I just make a lot of mistakes. It's OK to fail in science just as long as you have the successes to go with the failures.
The challenge as a parent is letting your kids fail in the right ways because that's where we do most of our learning.
Everybody has auditioned and failed. You learn from that. It's how you learn your craft.
As counterintuitive as it sounds, 'speed to fail' should be every entrepreneur's motto. Success isn't born wholly-formed like Venus from a clamshell; it's developed through relentless trial and error.
Make mistakes and make bad decisions: you learn from them.
Making mistakes is how we learn.
You always tend to learn whenever you fail. Even when you do good, you tend to learn a lot.
I have been hugely successful at times in my life, and I have also been in ruins. But the lessons I learned on the way up were just as valuable on the way down.
The only way to progress is to make mistakes… We are learning the hard way.
Find somebody who has been successful, and learn how to do it. Find somebody who has been unsuccessful, and learn how not to do it. The clues are there. Find 'em.
As an athlete, that's something I always take with me. You fall every day, whether it's in a job, or you miss something else, but you learn how to do it better next time. You learn it in sports. That's a life lesson.
Sometimes you surf well and still don't win. It happens to everyone. You learn that one big score doesn't mean much if you don't have a backup. I guess every rookie learns that as time goes by. I took some big lessons from my losses.
It doesn't matter if I don't succeed in something, what matters is that I learn from my mistakes.
