Weakness...

"The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." - John Powell


Much like Dave Ramsey, the more I talk about losing weight and making a commitment I am doomed to re-learn the same lesson each and every day. Dave Ramsey is "doomed" to teach and counsel people on money and finances each and every day as a reminder.

We all make mistakes, we are all human. It's what we learn from our mistakes that makes us better. Thomas Edison was credited as stating that he did not make 10,000 mistakes while inventing the light bulb, but rather it took 10,000 steps to making a working lightbulb.

When you make a mistake, don't get upset. Take a deep breath, step back, and think about what you could learn from that mistake. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn.


"From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own." - Syrus
