Is making mistakes a bad thing?
It's scary to make mistakes.
I always want to be right, and I want to know the right answer.
I want to follow the path of the right answer.
The other day, a video happened to pop up,
maintaining the status quo is decline,
and you can only reach a new path through mistakes,
or something to that effect.
It seems that new discoveries and new technologies are born
not from predictable thoughts or the right path,
but from unexpected events and the wrong path.
I am afraid of making mistakes.
I am also afraid of failing.
Edison:
"I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Konosuke Matsushita:
"It is not a failure if you continue until you succeed."
Thomas Edison:
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
There are many famous quotes about failure,
but even if I knew them, I don't think I truly understood them deep down.
"But...", "I know, but...", "That's exactly why I'm afraid of failure." That's what I was thinking.
"Stagnant water rots."
I really think that's true.
Things are good now, so I'm fine as I am.
If I do nothing just because I'm afraid of change,
the days will definitely pass, time will not stop,
and I will age and grow old.
I want to stay youthful in both knowledge and body!
For a timid, cowardly person like me,
"You can only advance to a new path through mistakes" really hit home.
It finally sank in.
The type of person who can't move forward without being convinced
No matter what others said, I couldn't be convinced unless I went ahead and tried it, only to experience that it didn't work
You can only reach a new path through mistakes
These words hit me hard, and it felt like they finally settled deep within me
Even though I was so afraid of making mistakes before, I feel like I'm not that scared anymore
And because I give myself permission to make mistakes, excitement has emerged
Now, what shall I do?
