Conceptually, many people know that making mistakes is part of the learning journey.
In practice, most people try to avoid it in any way possible:
You may be avoiding a leadership role because you do not want to be blamed when shit happens.
You may be looking for a high win-rate strategy in the market because you are sick of being wrong.
You may be staying away from a lifetime opportunity because you fear that it may be a wrong move.
Theoretically, we thought that improving means making fewer mistakes.
In reality, how would you know if you are actually improving?
First, you make bad mistakes.
Then, you make better mistakes.
It’s not the number of mistakes that determine the progress of our improvement. It’s the quality of mistakes that we make that decide the magnitude of our leap.
