Mistakes, everyone makes them. From the brightest of minds to the most average of Joes, there is no escaping the fact that in the course of everyday life, or the pursuit of greatness, they will happen.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
― Albert Einstein
Bloopers, blunders, flubs, gaffes, missteps, omissions, snafus, or even teaching lessons, they’re called by many names. Never take for granted however, the opportunity to err and learn, and pity those who do not enjoy the privilege.
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
― Mahatma Gandhi
And in those moments when all seems hopeless, and frustration and embarrassment abound, remember that:
As long as the world is turning and spinning, we’re gonna be dizzy and we’re gonna make mistakes.
― Mel Brooks
