Probably the biggest mistake you’ll ever do in your life is not trying things for fear of committing mistakes. Experiences alone can’t give you enough wisdom that you need to be great. Most of our experiences are too safe for you to learn something. Your routine is just repetitive that you’re just becoming a master of that little world you’re in. Isn’t that boring? Being open to committing mistakes can surely hurt you, but that hurt will surely translate into wisdom.
So let your mind drop that cliché – experience is the best teacher. It is a teacher but it is not the best. It is how we handle mistakes that occur in our experiences that makes the difference. It is a mental exercise. Experiences alone do not give you a mental exercise. When people are honest about one’s mistake, he tends to look back at where he went wrong, and look forward for other possible options. Unlike a routine, where looking back and into the future is not required, you just have to walk that path that worked for you. But when that path change, people who are afraid of committing mistakes, get stuck and become clueless of what to do.
Look at the greatest people in the history of entrepreneurship. When mistakes are already inevitable, their journey to greatness was a parade of mistakes learned the hard way.
One of the most popular mistakes is committed by Steve Jobs. He admitted that he hired the wrong guy in one of his interviews. Jobs founded Apple computers. At the peak of his company’s popularity, he was ejected from the company. He blamed himself for hiring the wrong guy. 11 years after he was ejected, he came back to revive Apple to its current success. Such tragedy to revival story could also happen to Gadi Leshem.
Gadi Leshem is the president and CEO of a company that installs carpets and other flooring materials. In 2009, he declared a chapter 11 bankruptcy. His decision was promoted by his company that by that time has only 1 million in assets, and 46 million in debts.
Whatever mistake Gadi Leshem had committed is still vague. What’s clear is that the world is up to a nice lesson learned from a mistake story again -a proof that mistakes, not just experiences, are the best teacher.
