The road to success: Making mistakes

If you’re afraid of making mistakes, you’ll probably never get anything done.

​So, what do you do when you make a mistake?

​Fix it, and move on.

This time, something else will go wrong. In the same way, you will fix that too and keep going.

​You don’t give up on something you want to do just because you made a mistake. That would be betraying yourself. Normally, when we do someone wrong, we apologize to them and don’t do it again. There is no harm in following the same path for something we are working hard for ourselves.

Being disgraced: What will others say?

​If a person cannot tolerate your mistake, only one conclusion can be drawn from this, and it is this: They themselves have "truly" never done anything. For instance, they might have passed an exam where the questions and answers were already provided. They haven't experienced trying to study the entire course without knowing the questions beforehand, nor have they faced what a massive effort that is, or how many things could go wrong...

​Someone who actually puts in the effort inevitably experiences making mistakes, and a well-intentioned person naturally views making mistakes as normal.

​In other words, a "well-intentioned" person will stand by you no matter what.
