Make Mistakes or Don’t Make Anything

It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be : The World's Best Selling Book

From a chapter in the book It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be by Paul Arden:

The Person Who Doesn’t Make Mistakes Is Unlikely To Make Anything

Benjamin Franklin said, “I haven’t failed, I’ve had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.”


Thomas Edison said, “Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something that I was able to incorporate into the next attempt.”

Theater director Joan Littlewood said, “If we don’t get lost, we’ll never find a new route.”

All of them understood that failures and false starts are a precondition of success.

    Hey Theresa, I like all those quotes. I always like to think of the “mistakes” people made while they were cooking and are now we have “Tollhouse” chocolate chip cookies. Hey you never answered my question if I can get a discount on a planner :) I have a fantasy planner in my head. Did I tell you another magazine wanted my design? Simply beads wants one of my resin beads design. Lots of love
