It's good to make mistakes, and here's why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is, "You can't." Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are that much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeeded. Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn't mean that you should forge ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that, in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money. so don't blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn, modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old axiom that goes, "If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough."
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
犯錯是有益的，原因如下。
首先，錯誤清晰地顯示出你正在探索新事物。嚐試新事物總是好的，因為你會在這個過程中不斷地成長。假如不去嚐試任何新事物，你怎能進步？怎能發展？又何以創新？答案很簡單：“你不能。”看看周圍，幾乎毫無例外，你在客觀世界看到的每一件事，抑或每一件事的每一個細節，都是有人嚐試新事物的結果。
犯錯的另一個益處是：在犯錯的過程中，你也在學習。設想一下，愛迪生創造出電燈泡前失敗了一萬次。當有人問他失敗那麽多次，有什麽感覺時，愛迪生回答，自己不是失敗了一萬次，而是知道了一萬種不起作用的事物。
最後，犯錯之時恰恰是你更接近成功之日。這是什麽原因呢？
因為在成功前，說了該說的，做了該做的，你所要進行的嚐試是有限的。每犯過一次錯誤，那些所要做的嚐試就會少一個，因此，你離成功也就更近了一步。
然而這一切並不表明你就應該一味地往前衝，而不在意每一個錯誤的後果。恰恰相反，每當嚐試新事物時，你就應該主動設定一些合理的限度，以防當事態不像你所期待的那樣發展時，你可以再試一次。
我們所擁有的時間和金錢的資源都是有限的，所以不要把所有的時間和金錢都投入到一個問題的解決辦法上。要知道，第一次也許不會完美，要合理地安排這些資源，這樣你就能夠學習、改進，並進行再一次的嚐試。唯有通過這種方式，快樂地接受並利用你的錯誤，你才能在業務和事業上取得重大進步。
有一句古語這樣說：“假如你沒犯錯誤，就表明你未曾盡力。”
因此，勇往直前，去犯錯誤吧。然後學習、成長，最後成功。
