Tina: That is a fine item to learn early on. The difference between learning it early on, and not learning it at that time, is huge because of the years of progress that are gained between those times. The point about respect there is also one to ascertain, as we have to realize that people put themselves in our position when they see us make a mistake, and understand our boldness in having made an effort with chance of error.

Great post. I was lucky enough to learn when I was young that it is okay to make mistakes and it is better to just say “I made a mistake” as opposed to trying to pass it off on someone or somewhere else. I think people who make mistakes and recognize it and admit it will get further in life and be respected more for it.

Corey: That is another way to look at the process. It can be viewed that I am somewhat recommending the pursuit of mistakes. I would add in that I would recommend the allowance of their occurrence, but not the purposeful interest in accumulating them. I think human nature would tend to provide notice of the same mistake occurring in the same way multiple times.

Your band director sure does add boldness to the making of mistakes, and that is a vital way to respond to them, in order to not look at them in a negative light.

I wouldn’t necessarily tie success and mistakes so closely together. While unwillingness to act is a mistake in and of itself, there are times when yes, you should avoid situations with obvious detrimental consequences. Although, as my band director says, “if you’re going to make a mistake, do it proudly. Say “HAH! IM WRONG!” not “oops, did i mess up?”

Trey: That does sound about right. I think that at a certain point, after absorbing a concept such as this, it becomes harder to be inactive, because you know the effects that result from that state.

There’s not a lot that I can say about this quote that you already haven’t Armen. I have found that I learn my skills and lessons much faster when I take action, than when I read and/or think about them. Fear of failure is such a silly fear, because it ultimately is self-fulfilling, because eventually, you fail due to inaction.
