“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.”
– Edmund Burke
In this episode, We learn about Edmund Burke and the importance of failing often, and we hear from Alibaba founder, Jack Ma who thanks his many failures for his long-term success.
We talk about how our mistakes, and the mistakes of others, are our biggest assets in the pursuit of our goals and in a fulfilling life. Understanding that learning from these mistakes and having a growth mindset can philosophically and biologically help us grow is important in our professional endeavors and in our relationships.
No one has time to make every mistake there is to be made, and we shouldn't waste our time even if we did. Taking ownership of our mistakes and applying what we've learned from ourselves and others is the most direct way to improve our efforts and make our lives work for us. We cannot let our failures or the fear of embarrassment stop us from trying.
