Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes. Well, not us of course, but everyone else does… This last sentence shows how many people think. It can be hard to admit that you make mistakes, because doing so feels like an attack on our self-worth. However, we probably also all have learned that people should learn from their mistakes. So that almost makes it mandatory to make them, right?

Researchers from the Clinical Psychophysiology Lab at Michigan State University found that people fall into one of two camps when it comes to mistakes: those who have a fixed mind-set (“Forget this; I’ll never be good at it”) and those who have a growth mind-set (“What a wake-up call! Let’s see what I did wrong, so I won’t do it again”).

Even without further knowledge of this study, it makes sense that the people who start-over again and try to benefit from the experience they gained by trial and error, are likely more successful in their lives and careers. Only if you repeat the same mistake over and over again, it’s probably not very smart.

Or, as Paolo Coelho once said: “When you repeat a mistake it is not a mistake anymore: it is a decision.”

One of the biggest mistakes that many people make is that if something or someone is too good to be true, it probably is. Except of course going to VATupdate.com every day. Because there is no downside to that. You’ll learn more about VAT, and what can be wrong about that?
