This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you. The goal of this week’s post is to remind you that making mistakes is fine as long as you learn from them.
I know what you did last summer….
You might think this post is about the famous movie, but it isn’t….
I’m referring to the mistakes you’ve made in the past. Those that you have covered or discussed with other. Failures that, in the end, shaped you into the person you are today.
Don’t try to hide your mistakes from yourself any longer. Learn whatever you can from them.

“Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.” Oscar Wilde“Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” Bruce Lee“Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow.

I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.” John Wooden“You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success – on the far side of failure.” Thomas J.

It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.” Steve Jobs“If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.” Tallulah Bankhead“The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.” Dale Carnegie“If you don’t learn from your mistakes, then they become regrets.” John Cena“I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.” John Peel“Being human means you will make mistakes. And you will make mistakes, because failure is God’s way of moving you in another direction.” Oprah Winfrey“Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.” Denis Waitley
