"No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes," said Gladstone. "I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes," said Sir Humphry Davy.
"We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success; we often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery." said Samuel Smiles.
"Mr. Edison worked endlessly on a problem, using the method of elimination (TRY and FAIL method). If a person asked him whether he were discouraged because so many attempts proved unavailing, he would say, 'No, I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." said Thomas A. Edison.
Great men and big personalities make mistakes and admit them. It is the little man who is afraid to admit he has been wrong. Yes, many people are indecisive because they fear loss of self-esteem if they are proved wrong. So, take the necessary steps you believe, enjoy the results if they are good; and admit that they were mistakes, if they are wrong; and change your way.
It is that simple!
