INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER + CREATIVE THINKING = SUSTAINED SUCCESS IN LIFE.
THE OTHER DAY A VERY SUCCESSFUL businessman was asked, "What has been the greatest mistake of your life?" He said-"The greatest mistake has been not making enough mistakes". I feel he put forth the secret of his success very beautifully. Think back on all the mistakes you have made in life, haven't they all taught so many things, so many lessons that no book, no advice could have done. Moreover the lessons learnt from making mistakes are so durable they do not leave you, ever.
But it is so surprising that, that school is one place where mistakes are constantly abhorred. Compulsive mistakes, and the same mistakes repeated again and again are a different cup of tea altogether, but parents and teachers should think twice of all the advantages before admonishing children not to make any mistakes.Another advantage - it teaches the child how to handle unpleasant situations, and how to operate when you are no longer in a structured environment or you are faced with unexpected outcomes.
Any more advantages of making mistakes? Looking forward to your bricks,bats, views,comments and experiences.
