Is there such a thing as a good mistake in your world? What does it mean, if yes? Or why not, if no?
quotation
No Mistake is Fully One if You Learned Something Good from It
How much of a mistake do you consider a mistake you made to be if you learned something from it? Are you the type who retells yourself the story to reduce the value of the mistake with a silver lining, even if you don’t reduce it quantitatively like making it half a mistake? Or are you the type who stick with a mistake is a mistake? Or perhaps you go the other way to consider no mistake to be one if you learned something from it like I once did? I changed from that view because I found I was letting myself off the hook too easily for my liking regarding accountability.
Err on the Side of Care
If You Have to Think Twice, Think Thrice
Can you overthink something you need to think about on more than one occasion? Of course, you can! It’s quite easy to, whether from doubt, anxiety, and/or other factors.
Should you think more than twice about something you need to think about on more than one occasion? That depends on the type of person you are, and/or what that something is.
Stir Not Pots Which’s Contents You Know Not
How often do you intentionally get yourself into things about which you don’t know much? And how have they generally turned out? Do you seriously wish you would get yourself into things about which you didn’t know much more or less often? There isn’t a right or wrong answer to any of those questions. You are who you are, although if you seriously wished you would get yourself into more things about which you didn’t know much, you might want to plan on how you’ll make that happen as it won’t likely happen on its own.
