Have the courage to make mistakes. But also learn from past mistakes and avoid repeating mistakes.

Serious people are always afraid to make mistakes. Actually those people who are afraid of making small mistakes end up making big blunders.

Actually when you make a mistake and when people point it out, you are unable to bear it. Your ego gets hurt. So to avoid getting your ego hurt, you try your best not to make mistakes.

There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. In fact by making a few mistakes, you can come to know how to avoid making mistakes, because you have experientially understood it.

The more you learn from mistakes, the more you know about how not to make mistakes.

Do things to the best of your intelligence and enthusiasm but without worrying about whether you might make a mistake. Also, you must learn from your mistakes or those of others. It is not good to repeat the same mistakes. When you are not so concerned about your ego getting hurt, you will have the courage to take any jump.

Life is beyond our
logic. Most of us
unconsciously believe
that life is filled with
incidents that are
under the control of
logic. But life reminds
us, again and again the
truth; that life is
beyond our logic.
