Why we LOVE mistakes
Mistakes are proof that we are trying
If you are not making mistakes, you are
not making decisions
A mistake is a bruise, it is not a tattoo
Carol Dweck
“Did I win? Did I lose? Those are the wrong questions.
The correct question is: Did I make my best effort?” If so,
she says, “You may be outscored but you will never lose.”
“We like to think of our champions and idols as
superheroes who were born different from us. We don’t
like to think of them as relatively ordinary people who
made themselves extraordinary.”
“Effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into
accomplishment.”
Carol S. Dweck
