Making a mistake is also an achievement. — © Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar
Making a mistake is also an achievement.
Making mistakes isn't enough to become great. You must also admit the mistake, and then learn how to turn that mistake into an advantage.
I sometimes react to making a mistake as if I have betrayed myself. My fear of making a mistake seems to be based on the hidden assumption that I am potentially perfect and that if I can just be very careful I will not fall from heaven. But a 'mistake' is a declaration of the way I am, a jolt to the way I intend, a reminder I am not dealing with the facts. When I have listened to my mistakes I have grown.
An artist who goes around proclaiming that the art he's making is art is probably making a serious mistake. And that's one mistake I try not to make.
Shift from being afraid of making a mistake to being afraid of not making a mistake. If you are not making any mistakes, you are not learning or growing
Don't mistake activity with achievement.
Don't mistake movement for achievement.
Never mistake activity for achievement.
The biggest mistake you can make in your life is to be always afraid of making a mistake.
When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake.
I'm scared of making the biggest mistake of my life. I'm just trying to figure out what the mistake is.
The Christians think I am making a mistake by not trying the New Testament and meeting Jesus. The Jews tend to think I am making a mistake by reading without support from educated people. After all, there is 2,000 years of scholarship about the book, they say, so it's perverse of me to ignore it.
The greatest mistake you can make is to fear making a mistake.
The individual who is mistake-free is also probably sitting around doing nothing. And that is a very big mistake.
After every mistake, we need to understand that we can look back and learn-so that we can move forward with confidence and avoid making the same mistake again.
You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.
I think we are making a mistake, a very big mistake if we look at what we call the Arab Awakening only by looking at the whole dynamics in political and not in economic terms.
