Get Inspired - 4 Make Mistakes

Life is about making mistakes; don’t be afraid to make a mistake twice. Nobody learns anything by doing it once; people learn things by having that scenario occur over and over again.

Have you ever learnt the lyrics to a song just by listening to it once? But when you listen to the same song a couple more times, you find yourself subconsciously singing the song. You have to repeat things over and over again until you internalize that lesson. And the same thing goes for mistakes; you’re going to have to make the same mistake many times over to learn from it.

You are not going to learn from your mistakes the first time, you are going to have to make them a couple times, but make them quickly and then eventually own those mistakes and stop making them, and move on to new ones.

You should be comfortable making mistakes, embrace making mistakes, make mistakes as quickly as possible, just enough times to never repeat them anymore and then move on to new mistakes.
“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing” – George Bernard Shaw

“If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.” – Tallulah Bankhead

Here are good points to note from my previous articles

“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” – John Steinbeck.

Good ideas are ten a penny; everyone will have thought of them and the opportunities they raise – Mark Zuckerberg.


“You have to share the vision… When you get [people] to march in the same direction, you can really move mountains together.” - Carl Henric Svanberg


“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” – Mark Twain


“When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”


Ideas do not make differences in business; execution does. The way you act upon your idea is all that counts. History doesn’t remember people who thought of really amazing ideas. History remembers people who did great things because they acted on ideas and visions they had.

It’s those who manage to convert abstractions into concrete solutions that can truly call themselves entrepreneurs. Stop thinking too much and start doing enough.
