Being wrong is ok, failures and false starts are a precondition of success.
Some of the most successful people and companies I know are so, because they allow themselves to fail. Edison made over 200 light bulbs before he made the one that worked but he learned something from every mistake before reaching the end result.
It is the wrong turns in work and life that define us, risks are a measure of who you are. Those of us that take risks will end up leading more fruitful lives. Knowledge is built upon things that happen but if you stop taking risks and only keep the same knowledge it will quickly become unoriginal, and lets face it, who wants that label.
So, go on, get it wrong! It’s the right thing to do.
‘Fail. Fail again. Fail better.’ Samuel Beckett
