We ALL make mistakes.
I make at least one mistake
every damn day.
If someone says
they never make mistakes,
that simply means
they’re not intelligent enough
to recognize their mistakes.
And that’s dangerous
because recognizing your mistakes
is the only way
to survive your mistakes.
The most common sign
you’ve made a mistake
is the immediate reaction
isn’t the one you expected.
You expect the crowd
to laugh at your joke.
There’s silence.
You expect the prospect
to take your product
for a test drive.
She walks away.
You expect your phone
to ring
after the promotion.
Nothing happens.
If the reaction
isn’t what you expected,
ask yourself
‘Did I make a mistake?’
If you’re not certain,
ask a trusted colleague.
