The Person who doesn’t make mistakes is unlikely to make anything.
Benjamin Franklin said, “I haven’t failed, I’ve had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.”
Thomas Edison said, “Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something that I was able to incorporate into the next attempt.”
All of them understood that failures and false starts are a precondition of success.
I never fired anyone for being wrong, but I would most certainly fire an individual for not having initiative.
My policy was a positive attitude towards mistakes. According to former employees it was a great place to work.
Failure was a major contributor to its success.
